He's a Hillary supporter, and used all the canned talking points.

What I've come to believe is that they have one, and only one, political motivation: hatred for Republicans. They have given up on trying to improve the situation in this country, and believe the only thing we can do is to try and slow down the Fascist train. To that end, the only thing that matters is putting the right letter next to the President's name, regardless of that President's policies, because it will piss off the Republicans. They have essentially conceded the country to Republican ideals while simultaneously despising them.

It's Orwellian doublethink at its best.
