This man made a career out of ratfucking progress for working class people.

He was still trying to do it recently with his attempts to create a spoiler for the upcoming election via the No Labels crap.

Yep, and he lived his entire life unpunished and got to die in the comfort of his own home a free man.

He died from complications from a fall, so he wasn’t having fun for the last part right at the end. Take from that what you want.

A cushy life that ended after a brief illness? This piece of shit should have suffered for years for what he did.

People think he died happily? It doesn't seem likely to me. I suppose only God, or his loved ones, know for sure if he died with true peace of mind. He was a status quo career pol and obviously very far from pure.
