Link?
I'm in Jersey as we speak.
He's basically anti-union, cuts taxes on the rich, cuts funding for education, anti-abortion and has a plethora of other very right wing views. He took the gay marriage thing to the supreme court.
One of the things that keep him from going "full bore" on this is that he's in a very liberal state.
They love him here. But they don't like all his views.
He's got the "The guy you wanna have a beer with" thing nailed down pat. Heck..he's a very charismatic likable guy.
Thank you, Sallow. Don't know about the general anti union, but heard him speaking to a teacher in regard to education cuts and the teacher union. As a former teacher and rep, I am in his corner after liste ning to him.
He had a $1b education windfall that the governor used the year before and he had to make up for that loss the year he came he tried to negotiate with the Union President who would not negotiate and ended up laying off teachers.
I am NOT for cut taxes to the rich and my views on abortion have nothing to do with presidential politics. Neither does gay marriage. Actuallu anti union is not a player in presidential politics for me either
What does matter to me is his leadership skills an character, integrity. How would you rate those? Could he get Congress working again..reaching across the aisle?
Like I said, he is a very likable guy..and what you see is what you get.
He's doesn't pull punches, doesn't call himself perfect and in a mixed environment he does compromise.
I don't think he beats Hillary..but if he runs against Biden? That's a horse race.
The bigger picture is..Americans actually like a mixed government. I've voted for some Republicans locally, mainly because I am in the mind that if every one thinks exactly the same, you get some bad outcomes.
You need challenges to policies and ideas, if, for nothing else, to find the flaws.
