(21,988 posts)Of course you're right, thesquanderer! My grammar was imprecise and I apologize.

(9,998 posts)He has always complained about not making enough money. He should be able to demand quite a bit now that it is acceptable practice to negotiate what it will take to get you to step down.
He should get an agent to represent him because the potential to replace himself with someone much younger and conservative is so inviting to the GOP. Perhaps the GOP and evangelicals can start a go fund me page to buy the seat??
