Expendable.
Alone,
With no family of his own.
He is last.
Last to be thought of.
Last to be invited.
Last to be considered.
Last to be served.
Last in priorities.
It is reality.
It is understood.
It is accepted.
It is sometimes oh so overwhelming.

😱He could have been a historical giant, the most bipartisan, transformational Senate Leader of all time. He chose Trump. He let him trash his own wife. His "legacy" will be nothing.
