Dewine isn’t crazy, he’s mostly a paleorepublican from before the dixiecrat coup.

He’s been fighting this insanity for a while, with mixed results.

Yeah but like any successful politician he’ll readily compromise his principles in order to hold onto power.

I mean, he’s still a politician, but he’s a politician within the bounds of sanity.

Have to wonder why he stayed with the party when so much has changed since then.

He’s a Midwestern republican, it’s less bad there and they can keep deniability that people are so insane.

A lot of the worst of this spread from the dixiecrats when they joined the GOP, what’s tragic is how Midwesterners keep convincing themselves that this is just normal politics and not the legacy of Jim Crow racism run amok.

Unless this is a different interview than I heard, he refused to say that Trump and Vance were lying about it.

The R beside his name wouldn’t let him call them out directly.
