By not running again Mitt has made another seat available for another MAGA extremist.

If there are no reasonable Republican candidates, or if the reasonable candidates are disliked by the constituents, then this is just what the GOP is now. This is their new face, or their old face with the mask off, or whatever. I wish there was a spot somewhere in-between the two extremes for ordinary people, but this is what the failed system has produced.
