Why does he consider Obama a “moderate socialist” rather than a hard-left radical? This makes me concerned about his bona fides.
I think he didn’t state it exactly as he meant it. That’s just my opinion. A better way would be, Obama - radical socialist, McCain - moderate socialist. Therefore AT BEST EVEN IF THE REPUBLICAN WON YOU’D GET A MODERATE SOCIALIST.
I can’t believe he doesn’t understand that Obama is extremely radical. I agree with you that if he doesn’t, there’s something wrong there.
But I’m guessing he didn’t articulate it the way he understands it within himself.
One thing (among many great things) about Ted Cruz : the man can speak and say what he means to say.
