Does he have any clue how out of touch with the GOP rank & file he is?
It is deliberate to draw attention to himself. He does this consistently, and he's too smart for it to be accidental. I'm not sure who he's trying to appeal to, because he's behind the curve and off message for either Republicans or Democrats. Maybe he's thinking of trying to run against Trump. In which case, I will enjoy voting for Trump and against Romney.
