He'll milk the National face-time of the Presidential-debates as long as he can, then clumsily bow-out to concentrate on his Senate re-election.

That's probably a good choice at this point.

Not so much as he WAS part of a failed congress.  Might consider just staying at home next time around.

So was Cruz, Mike Lee, Thomas Massie and Justin Amash.  More like them and things might change.

Funny you mentioned one of the strongest dissenters of anything that smelled like Bozo the Clown.  Cruz made enemies out of most of Congress with his aggressive attitude of expelling anything having liberalism attached to it.  His dissenting votes on many issues was not the only votes cast.

Mitch needs him back in the Senate.  Look for him to run to the right of Atilla the Hun...
