This surprised me - as I can normally tolerate listening to anyone for at least a few minutes. When he asked Cory Booker to yield the other night, it actually jolted me how repulsed I was by him.

I get that he feels entitled to the job, but he is absolutely the wrong person to be leading the minority in the Senate - there are at least 20 others who could navigate this more effectively.

Guess I needed to get that off my chest.
