oakey66,

He used to have decent politics but he’s just become absolutely awful on almost everything.

RalphFurley,

He was essentially Newt Gingrich’s coworker for a while (worked at the same lobby). What a fall from grace.

oakey66,

Yep. He ended up doing healthcare lobbying so he flipped against a Medicare for all. He just tanked any semblance of what made him a likeable politician back in the 2000s. When he went after Bernie in 2016, it became really apparent what his allegiances were.

Crazy that was what disqualified a candidate in the 2000s and here we are now.

ampedwolfman,

Right, I know nothing of his politics but I remember him being fucking hype to run this country. I was too young to vote then, but he would have had mine. Mother fucker was excited.

Same, I was middleschool/high school then and even then I thought it was weird seeing someone basically get shunned because he was excited for a job that traditionally was very reserved, ESPECIALLY after the war on terror issues. He was excited to try to help lol

goferking0,

2000s also showed draft dodgers were preferred over war heros
