The way I see it, unless the guy is a Hitler or somesuch, who makes his intentions clear, nobody really knows what somebody will do once they take office....I’m sure in 2008, Obama fooled a lot of people into thinking he was a Centrist.
You are very right about that. Last time, Obama told us what he was going to do, we just tried hard to pray that he really meant there were no red, or blue states, but the United States. HA! Great one liner, wasn’t it? He meant the United States would be ALL BLUE. ha. The joke was on us.
Hillary drove him into policy wonking, or a lot of his lefty tones would never have been seen at all, even as well as they were.
Except for Newt, Romney was never driven anywhere to be forced to come up with more than the usual platitudes. He remains a policy mystery on a wing and a prayer, except for his record of severe socialism in MA.
