Who is he??? Part II

For part I, go here. The answer for part I was Jimmy Carter.

After a major election year loss, he distanced himself from the liberal/progressive wing of the party, declaring, “I’m not a liberal at all... I’m not comfortable with those people.”

His father told a leading national magazine, “How could any son of mine be a god damn liberal? Don’t worry about him being a weak sister. He’ll be tough.”

In a Senate race, he refused to endorse the Democratic candidate and instead endorsed the Republican!

As president-elect, he appointed high level Republicans to prominent cabinet posts!

His most well-known catch phrase was a rebuke of the welfare state and a promotion of individual responsibility.

Another phrase was a Woodrow Wilson-like call to arms for “Liberal Internationalism.” 1 2

A master of the New Democrat perfected "triangulation," he alienated Labor Unions by not siding with them on a number of issues, saying disputes must be settled with what is best for the public’s interest.

He considered our tax system obsolete and advocated massive tax cuts.

A leading Republican characterized him as “a Democrat by accident of birth; he is more of a pragmatist than a Democrat.”

Congressman John Lewis (D, GA) a civil rights hero, said his civil rights actions were "too little, too late"

I'll let someone else answer.

But on edit, he was never a governor, so it could not have been him....

.

my guess....

Where's MAH prize??????

I'll give you a heads up on "Who is he Part III."

I hope it's the Daily Double!

He lost an election, he was a triangulation king, and he appointed Bill Cohen as SECDEF...

got to be.

Ask not what your country can do for you.... (you know the rest)
