Jeff Flake is out of the senate. Unfortunately his mantle has been assumed by Mitt Romney. Actually it is a mixed blessing. It could be worse. He could be president. I must say I have never been more glad that Mitt Romney is not President.
I always felt he would have been at least competent and by Washington standards was reasonably honest. If he had been running against Trump I would have voted for him. Since being elected to the Senate and putting distance between himself and Trump I have learned that I was as wrong about him as I was about Trump. My opinion of both has changed.
Positions of power have an almost irresistible power to corrupt. People tend to start thinking they are wiser than everyone else and should have the right to make us peasants see the error of our ways. I will grant that Romney has had a successful life and has made a contribution. I assume he is a good father and husband. It is too bad that he seems to want to finish it off by supporting oppressive government instead of “liberty and justice for all.”
Pray for Donald Trump. He is obviously not as perfect as you or I but he is far beyond the competition. We might also begin praying that there will be an heir apparent to the office. The country barely survived the vacuum between Ronald and Donald.

When Trump leaves, it's over, even if he isn't as perfect as us. ;-)
