    So… you’re saying he represented the people he was elected to represent, and worked within those bounds?

    The dog thing is a weird ass thing to bring up in a discussion on his politics.

    I voted against him for president. I’m sure I disliked his conservative policies, and dems had a good candidate, so it was a no brainer. But I don’t need to demonify him.

      No, I’m saying he pretended to represent those people while serving himself. He paid lip service to the base voters, and used wedge issues like a gambler uses slot machines, going from one to the next hoping for a big payout.

      The dog thing just brings into stark relief what sort of person he is in private. He told that story on himself, because he thought it was funny when he saw his dog’s piss and shit running down the back windshield on the highway. That’s a man who lacks empathy, and is entirely out of touch with regular humans.
