That whole it doesn't matter who is with me comment.

I suspect he is hung up on the whole Horton hears a Who position. Ie he picked a path and he is going to stick with it no matter what. Unfortunately this will appeal to the mind set of his most fanatical base. If he backed away he would really lose everyone. He would not even have his 12% support he now has.

Think of it from his point of view. If he backs away does he gain the Dems support? Hell no. Does he win any respect from the Repubs? Not really. They are already planning damage control for the past six years. His only real option is to stay the stupid course.

See the problem is he is thinking of things as to how they benefit or harm him. He is a true sociopath. He is selecting the most advantageous approach for his interests alone. He has no sense of other people's perspective. He is blind to other people's interests.
