If he’s not testing the waters, what does he need with a foreign policy adviser?
If citing Charles Murray as key mentor isn’t racist, it’s at least pandering to racists.
If your point is that many Republiopaths aren’t as stupid, ignorant, and bigoted as they seem, I tend to agree – but they deliberately pander to stupid, ignorant, and bigoted voters. That seems despicable to me, especially as the pandering prattle is often their only discernable ideology.
I don’t accept that CM is a racist, first of all. But what is this thing about “key mentor”. There is no evidence that the two have even met, much less have any kind of “mentor-mentee” relationship. Jeb read some of his books (no indication of which ones) and likes some of his idea. “Mentor” implies something close to a student-teacher relationship.
Some do. I haven’t seen enough evidence that Jeb falls in that category.
