Yeah, maybe. But he ain't no Conservative.....and quite possibly a shape shifter...easily blending into a liberal..to a conservative.
Whatever he has to be at the time....giving money to both the right..and the left..to make "deals". IMO...he has no absolute. His compass is wrong...
IF he is elected...we will all be very disappointed.
