4. I don't see any particular reaction to the tax argument. He agrees with that.

It just looks like he is thinking,

"What am I doing here? 60 days ago, I was a rising star, and now my career is going down the toilet with this jackass. And what do I get out of it? Hell, I should be campaigning in Wisconsin. I may even lose my House seat. God, what a bad decision that was. Well, I guess I can be a K-Street Lobbyist. But then I'll probably have to give up my nice mansion in Janesville and move into a place one-tenth the size in northern Virginia. Idiot. Why did I do that? What was I thinking? I am so screwed. I wish I were back in Colorado climbing another '14'. "
