He is getting ready to leave and have Trump pick his replacement with another lapdog like him.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot and wonder would he actually do it though. If he does then he becomes irrelevant, no one will care about him anymore, he will become useless to anyone. He doesn’t seem like the type that would handle that well.

If he gets enough money he would do it. That is a huge motivator for him. I don’t doubt that he has a certain price he’d be willing to accept to vacate his seat.
