You don’t say.
Who the F cares about pandering as long as the panderer has a shot in the general. Trump does. And he’s been pretty damn good at pandering.
You are certainly correct about one thing, my naive friend. Trump is one hell of a panderer. He has made his supporters believe that he’s a conservative, he’s pro-life, he’s concerned about illegal immigrants, and that he’s not part of the establishment, despite all evidence to the contrary.
The truth is that he is no conservative, he’s pro-abortion, and he brags about buying politicians, making him very much a part of the establishment and all that is wrong our political system.
