Seems to me that most Republicans these days are actively working to promote the Democrat agenda as best they can. You know, if Liberals seek the nomination in both parties, then the Republican Liberal can square off against the Democrat Liberal, and the people who hate this country can rest assured that no matter what happens, Liberalism will advance.
Geraldo? Running as a Republican? Makes perfect sense. It’s how they work the system.
Republican != conservative.
Northeast Republicans (rare breed that they are), for the most part, are socially liberal, but are pro-business. That is the group to which Geraldo aligns.
