Daniels is smart. He knows from past experience that campaigning will be very hard on his family and he doesn’t want to put them through that. I wouldn’t either.
I have a lot of doubts about these scoring methods on who is conservative and who is not.
Conservatism is Drain the Swamp and Build the Wall. It is most decidedly NOT vote for some insignificant bill with some insignificant tax cut or spending cut that never became law and would have changed the deficit from $1.8Trillion to still $1.8Trillion because the cuts offset.
These people with political careers are filth. They are the Swamp. It’s unfortunate that the best they can do in this case is a sitting Congressman, who is also Swamp.
