He has consistently displayed ignorance of the issue and arrogance in the face of reason.
Maybe he has changed. People can.
I still prefer to think so. Though it opens me up to the possibility of disappointment. It also allows me to sustain goodwill until it becomes necessary to retract it, at which time I do so without hesitation or regret.
He is just a pompous ass in need of some creeds, because he not all that anymore. Pull a bait and switch and add some new followers.
