I know their positions shift, but can anyone follow his argument here?
"We don't want to lose our gains. . . we agree with the 2014 transition." WTF?

He's just babbling and trying to eat up time with nada.

Foreign policy being the worst. He criticized the Arab Spring and in the same breath Obama for not speaking out in support of Iran's Green Revolution.

(135,425 posts)4. Eddie Munster did not give the "settled law" answer on Roe v. Wade either--that was a MISTAKE.
