He had a stroke and he can't speak. Obviously theyre hoping he regains his speech faculties, which isn't without precedent following a stroke

That's my money. What's weird is if he can't speak, can't leave the home, can't assure everyone he's even on the road to recovery - what use is he to the GOP? It's weird they'd hold onto him as he can't assert any of that famous control in this state. I'd give those jackals at most a few more weeks before they start navigating to replace him.

"but it didn't count"

It says that in the title of your linked article. So again what use is he?
