You can tell a lot about a person by who his enemies are.
He certainly has all the right enemies and they are very angry with him.
I don’t think labels like Conservative or Liberal mean very much today. They are often used to hide who a politician really is for.
Being conservative or liberal isn’t about what a politician calls themselves. It’s about how their votes, endorsed policies, authored laws etc..support either of the ideologies. Once we see what they DO we can ascribe the label.
We should NEVER believe someone says they’re conservative without proof. We’ve been burned enough times to have learned that lesson.
