    You know, wild, insane conspiracy theory, but maybe the mental breakdown is more than just aftereffects from the stroke.

    What if some republican patsy at a three letter agency has some serious blackmail on him? He’s a public figure, his actions easily scrutinized. As a senator his time, statements, and votes are public, and the government itself is doing the blackmail, so he can’t turn to anyone. If he resigns they release the blackmail. The only way to not have the blackmail released is to fake these issues. Or maybe the pressure is actually breaking him, who knows.

      It’s not that complex, he’s always been a POS even before his stroke, the stroke just disinhibited him. Plus paranoia and paranoid delusions are symptoms of brain damage
