Part of me says he's just the World's Best snake-oil salesman, and doesn't believe a fucking word of it.
And I'm not sure which is worse...dumb, or smart and callous...

Either way, he's dangerous. But let his ass run for President. It will be fun watching him lose, and then, when the Crazy Right CANNOT say, any longer, that their candidate "Just wasn't a really real Conservative Enough, and THAT'S why he lost", THEN the real work of destroying the Conservative movement can begin, because they will have to face the reality that America is probably more Left than Right, and and that means everything they have been told, and told themselves, for the last half-century is PROVABLY WRONG.

watching the searing heat of enlightenment burn through their minds that way will be the most painful day of their collective lives, and will be a most enjoyable moment for me.
