The mostest conservativest
During the run up to the GOP Senate primary, it was a battle for each candidate to portray themselves as the most conservative. That has also trickled over to the Democrat side, with Ford touting his conservative democrat persona. Heck, he’s even evoking Ronald Reagan:
Ford says he wants to restore America’s “moral authority” in the tradition of Reagan…whom he described as a man who insisted America be the strongest and best country in the world and still maintain the position of being the “envy” of the world.
I ain’t buying it. Ford’s a bit too chummy with the old school Democrats from the state of NY for my liking.

Funny. Part of why I don’t like Ford is because he’s always tried to hard to be the “conservative Democrat” rather than an actual, bona fide progressive.
Ford, Jr.: Too conservative for the Democrats, to liberal for
Republicansnominally libertarian types.
