I'm for him and against him. Well, it's a 90-10 kind of thing, maybe more like 99-1, but I like the fact he once lived in Canada. They're friendly and polite up there. Maybe that's why they ejected Cruz.

He's for it when it applies to women and minorities and against it when he has to be subjected to it, just like any other authoritarian creep.
