He sounds all calm and reasonable, and upbraids people for being "unfair."

But deep down, he's a libertarian and authoritarian.

A corrupt Dem might steal an apple off a tree, but the GOPr would steal the apples, the tree and the orchard.

Both-siders would say "SEE! They're EXACTLY THE SAME!"

I remember seeing him on msnbc during the bush years now he has gone full on MF45 cult. I guess he got some federalist society indoctrination during the President Obama years.

And what a stupid comment about his wife, chi,Daren dog etc being mad. That was insane talk and totally made his comment discounted.
