That’s what I thought. It’s been a long time between (at least) 2001 & this year’s debates online, so I thought I’d just forgotten. He seemed to be quite pro-Newt during the debates (which, obviously, left me with a favorable impression of him)
I don’t know why he remains a Democrat but his opinion of the current Dem Party is hardly any better than any of ours. He flat out says it makes him sick. Very old school Dem.
