it's a fair point, wilful.
i'd still put my faith in law-making incompetence. but the inability to command a majority is a useful back-stop.
i guess we should also contemplate the execution of roles other than law-making. in that sense, pence may be a safer bet. but again, it's difficult to say. do you choose foreign policy chaos or neocon adventurism all over again?
these guys define the choice between worse and worst.
