I don’t wish him a long and painful ordeal, having lost someone close to cancer myself. But at the same time, I can’t really muster much sympathy. This guy is in no small part responsible for our political discourse being in the state that it’s in. He made his living being an asshole and tearing at the fabric of the country he claimed to have loved. His legacy is having helped craft an atmosphere in which a charlatan like Donald Trump could hijack the political system, and in which his lackeys could make a mockery of our democracy.
