9. They aren't all imposters.

Yesterday

Fetterman had a stroke that I suspect rewired his cognition.

Manchin was a unicorn - a semi-reliable Democratic vote in one of the reddest states in the country.

Gabbard is a Russian asset and is a little kookie besides.

Sinema is the biggest imposter of the lot, but she was ultimately more about personal pleasures and celebrity than policy.

And Lieberman wasn't an imposter. He was just a sore loser that held antiquated policy beliefs and a deep abiding love for war.
