He's a 'Contract with America' conservative. Like most of us.
He's a tough manager, hard on crime, defense, budgets, etc.
The 'socials' who won't vote for anyone who doesn't think exactly like them will be his only opponents, and all but the fanatics will vote for him in the end.
Except those 'Contract with America' conservatives elected in 1994 sent two partial-birth abortion bans to Clinton. And one to Bush.
Clinton vetoed both. Bush signed his.
Now we have Dems in Congress and an alleged Republican saying he is opposed to a ban on PBA. Can he be trusted to veto a recall of the ban if the Dems send him one?
IMO, no, given his history.
He's a tough manager, hard on crime, defense, budgets, etc.
I don't want just a manager. I want someone who will use the bully pulpit to promote a conservative agenda.
