That’s the thing. What power and wealth does the governorship bestow on this man that he is willing to humiliate himself to cling to it tooth and claw? In fact the whole Republican party seems to do the same, even as they claim Government is Bad (a neat excuse for doing a bad job of governing, no?).
This guy was some big CEO, with plenty of money. Is it that he’ll lose access to wealthier people he sucks up to? Will he get kicked out of the country club? What is that they crave so much that they are willing to step on hundreds of thousands of people just to stay in charge.
