I don’t think it would be that hard. The politicians can read the mood as well as anybody and they know how to play the game.
I don’t think so.
But I do think that this is exactly how Ted Cruz and Joni Ernst got themselves elected in their individual states.
They both ran against the establishment, thus taking advantage of the sentiment of the electorate, but then neither of them did much or even anything in terms of their voting records to separate themselves from the establishment.
Marco Rubio also used this same technique.
