    I’ll assume you’re not a disingenuous republican. Off the top of my head:

    • Getting in the way of fucking everything Obama tried to do, including passing the ACA.
    • Disgustingly putting his thumb in the eye of everyone who voted for Obama by blocking Merrick Garland’s nomination to the now illegitimate and flagrantly corrupt supreme court (unworthy even of capital letters).
    • Unabashed support for putin’s agent in the white house. Up to and including voting to acquit during the impeachment hearings.

    There’s more, but fuck it, I have a show to watch.

      The “fun” part of his acquittal vote is that he said he was guilty, but since he had lost the election already, casting a guilty vote would be the wrong thing for the senate to do.

      He wanted to both appease trump voters by voting not guilty, and appease saner moderates by calling him guilty in the press.

      Just mealy mouthed all the way around.
