How do you go from managing the campaign of McCain, using all kinds of smears against Democrats and then taking his ball and going home after Trump?

And now he's a Democrat.

So he's sorry about all those thoughts in his head the last 40 years?

Conservatives has a fundamentally different view of society and culture and I don't believe one can switch.

I mean... a GOP'er without the ideology baggage can vote for Obama because he was a force of nature... but a pure ideologue switching parties?
