Quick take: Kinzinger's "retirement"

 Rep. Adam Kinzinger will not seek reelection because he has decided to spend more time with his nope, can't type it.  I felt some obligation to make some comment, not that anyone reads this damned blog, and yet my only comment is how completely unnecessary it is for any analyst to comment because this was such an obvious and inevitable thing.  Liz Cheney may survive, but she has the Cheney name and far more ferocity than Kinzinger.  Is that enough?  If I had to bet... no.  Trump will be there, personally.  Liz won't make it.  Which is a shame.  However, this is the Republican Party.  Kinzinger took the path that Gary Jacobson & Samuel Kernell called "strategic retirement" in their book, Strategy & Choice in Congressional Elections.  Liz?  Not for her.  She'll go down swingin', but she will go down.  Us?  We'll go down in flames when these lunatics decide that January 6 wasn't sufficiently ambitious.  To quote The Dark Knight yet again, some men just want to watch the world burn.  Unfortunately, one party has decided that that man is a living god, and will do anything he says.
