If he shows one face to you and another face to his RINO buddies, I would say he might have been like that all of his life to some degree.
When I said John’s a nice guy, I didn’t mean he was conservative to me and liberal to his Washington friends. I just meant that in social situations, he’s a normal guy. I think his politics are the same no matter where he is.
One thing I should have mentioned is that in Pennsylvania Republicans are generally not conservative. So John is kind of par for the course for Republicans originally from this state.
