He clearly stated, on Fox News, that he "rejected progressive ideas". I'm not sure how much more direct he could be. You want a literal dance in a literal endzone? And he did fly to Dennis' district. Not Lincoln's. Not Lieberman's. Not Baucus. He flew to the progressive district and picked the one shout out that confronted Dennis on his vote for acknowledgement. He ignores shouts daily, but that one he responded to. Why do you think he was in the district in the first place? You think he was trying to influence votes in Kansas?

You're really working hard to avoid reality here. At best you're arguing against what you perceive as hyperbole. At worst, you're ignoring reality. He is using progressives as a counter balance to the center-right. He does look for opportunities to set himself apart from them. And he actively works to make it publicly obvious.
