I guess it's possible that you like to think about a position, but you never decide, you just present a continuous series of what-if's and hypotheticals regardless of the issue or the situation. And that's fine, it's who you are, but don't delude yourself (or think you're deluding us) by claiming you decide anything. Your hallmark is never deciding on anything. In an earlier era you might've been referred to as a gadfly, but even gadflies eventually settle on something. You're more like a ramora afffixed to the underbelly of a gadfly. That's the closest you ever come to a fixed position...I like to think about a position and decide for myself

This reminds me of the ludicrous account which he gave Mr. Langton, of the despicable state of a young Gentleman of good family. "Sir, when I heard of him last, he was running about town shooting cats." And then in a sort of kindly reverie, he bethought himself of his own favourite cat, and said, "But Hodge shan't be shot; no, no, Hodge shall not be shot."Main character syndrome

I truly, deeply hope the GOP candidates take that position in Iowa three years from now.China putting tariffs on US is beyond a nothing.
Let’s be honest, so much is going to happen between now and then this is going to seem like the 70s. We have years left with these administration. They are dog years.I truly, deeply hope the GOP candidates take that position in Iowa three years from now.
