re: #116 Shiplord Kirel

Willard the weasel is nothing if not an apostle of the expedient. This might work to the advantage of sane people if the worst happens and he actually wins.
What are the chances that he might throw the kooks under the bus and revert to Mass Governor mode if he actually wins the presidency? Is this to his advantage? Why or why not?

Mitt’s campaign “evolution” is of course nothing new. Primary candidates play to the base then moderate in the general election. I don’t buy the crap that he’s a sociopath, compulsive liar, power hungry maniac who doesn’t understand airplane windows and secretly hates his sons. Once in office I think he’ll probably act responsibly. A lot of the pandering stuff like Ryan’s mathematically impossible budget will most likely get swept under the rug. I’m a little more worried about congressional Republicans, they’re a bit of a wild card. However, I think the responsibility of leadership may tame them down a bit.
