I don't think you are going to change his mind, he seems very set on it.

You aren't going to change his mind. What needs changing is his heart.

Balgair | karma 13764 | avg karma 3.0 · | 2020-07-30 22:12:32+00:00

What gives you the impression that he will refuse to?

Wouldn't be too surprised if he changed his mind since then. He is in a very different position now!

There's just no political upside to backing down at this point. It won't win him support and might cost him some.

So why would he change his mind? There's nothing to gain.

I don't think that's what he wants.

He doesn't want to sacrifice anything or changes that will affect him personally.

Man you really destroyed that guy

Wonder if he's gutsy enough to change his mind.

It's not like they're forcing him to do it. He could just say "no"...

eruditely | karma 641 | avg karma 1.06 · | 2013-10-30 00:39:40+00:00

Oh please, let him decide that.

dkaplan | karma -7 | avg karma -1.17 · | 2021-01-06 18:18:06

He deescalated and they don’t want him to suddenly change his mind

jiveturkey | karma 2220 | avg karma 0.81 · | 2022-02-16 13:47:06

Isn't that what he said? He won't.

chrisco255 | karma 12721 | avg karma 2.19 · | 2021-01-04 11:08:11

He's never been vocally against either one. He has been asked about it and has suggested that he is considering it and recognizes that a lot of people think he should, but has never said one way or another.

UncleOxidant | karma 8563 | avg karma 3.16 · | 2022-09-26 13:49:15

I think at this point the right thing to do would be for him to turn this down.

aichcon | karma 279 | avg karma 4.5 · | 2009-10-09 18:29:26+00:00

I don't think he should reject it. Rejecting it would be an insult and spur unnecessary controversy. He should accept it with grace and move on.

sho | karma 8069 | avg karma 4.39 · | 2009-07-16 14:36:23

Maybe he's trying to make a commitment he will be held to.

mitjak | karma 1000 | avg karma 1.91 · | 2010-06-25 23:17:38+00:00

I believe he's saying that he'd love not to.

karamazov | karma 3094 | avg karma 8.04 · | 2013-06-07 16:42:06+00:00

I'm sure he'd prefer not to.

akilism | karma 239 | avg karma 1.84 · | 2015-07-06 20:29:58+00:00

What does he have to do to convince you?

wlievens | karma 1911 | avg karma 1.21 · | 2010-11-23 09:06:48

Not having decided what he wants may be part of the question.
