Still better than the alternative. The democratic process delivers candidates chosen primarily by the media mafia, so a stealth conservative is the only conservative with a fighting chance.
Also, note, an educated man.
There is not a real alternative between lighter shades of the same thing. The only difference is moving slightly slower towards the same end.
Of course, if we were not already subverted by the communistic UN-pushing types even before the end of WWII, we could have provided a genuine alternative.
