Talking about different things to different people does not make you a populist.
He doesn’t change his beliefs, he just focuses on the stuff he thinks they’ll like (if he even does that).
He wants across the board cuts.
He tells the Democrats about the cuts the Democrats will like, and tells the Republicans about the cuts the Republicans will like, and tells them these cuts could pass, because both sides will get cuts they like.
“He tells the Democrats about the cuts the Democrats will like, and tells the Republicans about the cuts the Republicans will like, and tells them these cuts could pass, because both sides will get cuts they like.”
Thank you for proving my point.
