Someone who thinks like me.......
Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., took a hard look at the shape of the presidential race this week and chose to be pragmatic.
On a path untraveled by other Republicans in the Louisiana congressional delegation, Cassidy acknowledged Hillary Clinton was likely to win the presidency and that Donald Trump probably wasn't the best candidate to carry the GOP standard.
"I think it's fair to say right now if you're in Vegas, you're betting on Clinton," he said in an interview Friday (Sept. 2).
Cassidy has said he supports Trump, wants him to win, and would be willing to campaign for him. "I'm a Republican, and I want a Republican to win," he has said.
But on Friday he expressed a post-election strategy that distanced him from the partisan antagonism that has become routine in Congress: a willingness to work with a Clinton White House.
