And second place and last place were the same in both primaries, too! What a weird election cycle.
I mean, he was Earl Warren, one of the greatest jurists in American history and was only opposed by guys who hate beer.
Imagine Democrats and Republicans agreeing enough to nominate the same person today.
Must have made for some unusual debates during the general election campaign.
I wonder why that happened.
The perfect embodiment of “I’m playing both sides, so I always come out on top”
Is this enlightened centrism?
