I don’t see anything honest about it. He ran as a republican,asked for republican funds and when he screws up his voting record he switches sides so he can remain a senator. It was time for him to retire with grace but it looks like that is out.
No principles, just power lust. At his age he could retire but he just can't let go of power.
In other words, a natural Democrat. And we have known that about “Magic Bullet” Sphincter for a long time.
