I can’t figure Mr. Azar out. At times he seemed like a fairly intelligent and thoughtful individual, but other times (now especially) he appears to be a soulless toad. What is in it for him (and the other Trump administration factotums) to go so far in the service of Mr. Trump?

You do have to wonder what it is about Trump admin staffers that makes them glue their collective lips to Trump’s butt… what can Trump do to them if they do the right thing? Fire them??? Are they so wedded to power they have lost all sense and sensibilities?

Or, do they know something we peons do not, as in a SCOTUS overule of the electorate to hand it to Trump? Is that what Mitch is counting on as well and why he hasn’t dignified his office to call on the President-elect?

Hmmm… It has to be something…
