      You’re right on half of that, but on what issue does he meaningfully align with the left? Like I said, he seems to fall right into line with the right on everything - outside the shallowest veneer.

      I’m a centrist - both sides are bad - exclusively lists things the Democrats are doing.

      I don’t support the Republicans - but agrees with everything they’re doing.

      It’s a great way to feel as though you’ve risen above partisanship and form your own opinions like a special smart boy - as you’re led straight to right-wing positions on every issue.

          He certainly shifted right over time, but I don’t think he could have ever fairly been called a centrist.

          Disagreeing with the Democrats doesn’t make you right-wing (I disagree with them on most things because I’m pretty far left - condemning the Democrats exclusively (other than the vaguest possible 'I don’t agree with the republicans) while near-universally agreeing with the positions of the GOP makes you right-wing.
