    Most politicians don’t immediately get personality altering brain damage. It’s a special case to some extent.

    He wasn’t what most people wanted him to be in the first place, but not nearly as bad.

    I guess any politician could have a similar problem, but I don’t think that’s one we need to plan for.

      He had a reasonable voting record up until the stroke. He did well as Lt. Governor of PA although that office doesn’t do a ton. He did well as mayor of Braddock before that.

      His own wife was an undocumented immigrant and now he’s supporting ICE. It’s wild what brain damage can do.
