Just imagine your high after easily winning your election, in spite of serious questions about you actually living in Missouri and being one of the Senate’s most reviled members. And, as a fist pumper, after your Party of Insurrection now owns all three branches of government.
But imagine how former Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley must be hating life here, a few days after, when Trump appoints an incredibly less important and less qualified person (not to mention suspected sex trafficker) to the high perch of the US Attorney General’s office.
Apparently, showing solidarity with people attacking the capitol wasn’t enough.
For that matter, imagine the disappointment of Ted Cruz, similarly elected and similarly shunned for the AG job, in spite of having the experience of being a deputy associate US attorney general and a solicitor general. And especially after seeing fellow senator and 2016 primary loser Little Marco get a cabinet post.
Apparently, kissing Trump’s backside after he insults your wife and father wasn’t enough.
