more like he basically admitted that he has zero interest in doing that ever, which everyone assumed, but he was pretty adamant that wasn't the case

like i was saying to MEb before, social conservatives don't have much of a pot to piss in these days (though Islamophobia is the new hotness!) policy-wise, we certainly have plenty of Republican types. but many of them still use the same pathetic crutches to campaign with, even though it doesn't result in anything. the old Conservative Party was more centrist, but they were cannibalized by our version of the Tea Party ~15 years ago.
