As far as trying to figure out Ron, let me help you. You don’t just turn into a tone-deaf, focus tested career politician overnight. You don’t go from being a self-less, visionary and public servant who only wants what’s best for the country one day, to being a guy who has to ask his staff what he thinks on a particular issue, the next. In other words, he’s always viewed politics, primarily as a career.
I may not be as far down on Ron as you are, but I’m headed in that direction
at this time.
