Grietens seems like Hillary’s long-lost soulmate, in that they have both had POTUS ambitions since the womb. Everything he does is calculated toward that, and what will look good on his resume. I will probably hold my nose and vote for him; I’m not sure he would be as bad as a Dim governor.
It is a classic democrat move to sucker conservatives by posturing as a moderate in the election, then they inevitably shift to the left in office. Guys like Joe Manchin are a typical example, talks like a moderate, gets republican votes, and votes with Obama 90% of the time (while maintaining a pained look).
