>He believes authenticity goes a long way with voters
Not I fear, far enough. Although I do not underestimate the influence of the (former) Australian fascist who controls Fox and counsels the president.
There a a few Republicans I follow regularly, Andrew Bacevich and Lawrence Wilkerson (and then former CIA analysts like Ray McGovern). They seem to be respected across the spectrum. Wilkerson said he supported HRC because 'I want to see the United States go off the cliff more slowly'. Bacevich headed one of his book with a line out of Kings: 'First put thine own house in order'. I think he argues for a balanced budget, a withdrawal from pointless wars and empire generally, universal conscription without exceptions in the event of a war to be decided by congress, idk what else. He's not particularly left wing but is respected everywhere. I've heard him a couple of times.
But what does this mean?
>Biden, he told me, is very effective. Hes an old lunch-bucket Democrat. Hes a day at the mill and a shot and a beer and were going to give everybody a chance. You may be struggling, and it costs too much for your kids to go to college, but your kids are going to be something. I dont know if the party wants it, because theyre so far left now, dominated by a handful of elites that drive them harder and harder left.
'Harder and harder left'? What on earth is that? LGBTI or whatever it is? It sure ain't nationalisation of the means of production, distribution and exchange.
But he's nice, isn't he? I can't imagine him divorcing his wife by email. This was interesting
>Hes just a manifestation, Kasich said, of whats been happening for a long time. Thats what I think. This has been a long journey down this road. Judge Bork. John Tower. Bill Clinton. Newt Gingrich. Tom Foley.
Jim Wright. I mean, come on. These were things that brought out the worst in people. Brought up controversy and a dividing of the political system.And he's very disarming
> I do like Lady Gaga, I think shes fantastic. But Im a bit more into I mean, I like Bieber. Okay?
