If you have a NY Times subscription read Regret, Thy Name Is Hawley. And Murkowski. And Musk by Frank Bruni. Even if you don’t read the summary of the article in RawStory, 'Reeks of regret': Analyst sees multiple Trump allies now giving off 'whiff of panic' by Travis Gettys.

There might be momentary relief, but at their next meal the only food available would be served with the same Trumpian samonella.
