re: #118 recusancy

Some on the left hoped he was lying about his centrism to get elected. Most on the right believed that he was lying about his centrism (or didn’t really listen to him and just read other righties opinions of him) to get elected.

Of course maybe he was saying what he believed and has followed through on it all to many peoples dismay (on the left because it doesn’t feel like much change to do centrist things - on the right because it’s harder paint a centrist as a radical).

I think is is easier to say that people on the right and people on the left didn’t understand this person well. It seems that he is not living up to a lot of expectations.
