He will, of course, let it go if the government is right wing.

The "floating" is A/B testing. Chances are, if this passes some formula of (left wing people won over) - (right wing people who hate it) > 0 then he'll do it.

It's his libs, he can do whatever he wants.

At the end of the day I hold hope he'll approach this like a business. He'll hire the best he can find, fire the incompetent (of which government has many) and generally clean things up. What remains to be seen is how much the politics of any one group may stop that type of thing.

I hope he does, and in the process both increases his ownership of this fiasco and dispels any notions that his party still has any real support for "States' rights".

sib301 | karma 200 | avg karma 3.08 · | 2022-12-18 21:21:30

Of course he will do it. He plans to step down regardless of the results of this poll.

discardorama | karma 3407 | avg karma 3.94 · | 2016-03-12 02:56:43

Of course he will. If they didn't have his backing, they would not be putting up such a fight.

Give a little take a little maybe. My right wing family now loves him

gaoshan | karma 1472 | avg karma 3.56 · | 2023-10-08 21:15:57

But he's not governing on the Right. He's governing from much closer to the center.

thasmin | karma 322 | avg karma 3.35 · | 2013-03-28 13:29:14+00:00

He has the overwhelming majority interest. He's promised not to vote with his shared but the option remains open if he's told to do something illegal.

drawnwren | karma 1305 | avg karma 3.28 · | 2017-01-01 19:54:42

Isn't it a foregone conclusion that he will now that he's been elected?

kapauldo | karma 262 | avg karma 0.39 · | 2017-01-15 13:47:37+00:00

The right falls for empty fantasies, the left falls for policy wonks. Unless he starts reading a lot or becomes a loud a-hole, i dont see this happening.

roamerz | karma 391 | avg karma 1.25 · | 2021-01-01 16:11:26+00:00

Let’s hope! But honestly that probably won’t happen if he gets into office. Transparency is the enemy of socialism.

kazagistar | karma 3032 | avg karma 2.03 · | 2017-01-26 08:13:32+00:00

Well, he is a bit of a populist, so if you convince enough people, he'll probably go with the flow, on some things at least.

nashashmi | karma 2735 | avg karma 1.04 · | 2023-01-19 19:26:52

Of course. One day, he will step down. and then he will be fulfilling the promise.

rdtsc | karma 41164 | avg karma 4.52 · | 2013-07-26 04:10:50+00:00

So his supporters are right. He does keep his promises.

...

By slowly removing the ones he hasn't kept from the list.

This will be good for his election chances.

Probabilistically nothing much will happen to him, which aligns with his governing.

If he's so upset he can always adopt some of their policies.

tekknik | karma 615 | avg karma 0.28 · | 2022-11-15 23:50:13

I’m not convinced he will accept defeat. Once he feels he’s actually lost then he’ll let the party poppers fly.

d23 | karma 5694 | avg karma 4.09 · | 2022-12-18 19:58:10

I doubt it. Seems like he’s purged the non loyalists.
