I don't think I have seen one comment anywhere, on any website that agrees with me that Eastwood actually did exactly what he set out to do and did it to perfection...except yours.

I have always been a big fan of his, with little interest in his politics, although I knew he was a 'republican' and once the mayor of Carmel, CA.. But I do NOT think he looked at all the fool. I too think his performance has the chance to be very damaging, in spite of all the distortions and gross, outright lies. But then lies work given the dumbing down of American society...
