in position rather than do the right thing. example - Manchin sided with Coal mining ownership over
his constituents. Weak and greedy, basically dishonest and loyal only to the players.
But I get what you're saying - we would do better with honest debate, integrity, and the most
important, a calling to leadership without ego. Marco Rubio could have been that but he's
a weak backboned, smarmy worm with a desire for celebrity who tried to come across as
the guy who could control the middle and speak both languages.
