idk, it’s hard to say at the end of the day what is real belief and what is playing politics. Personally with what I’m seeing if a right leaning think tank like the Manhattan Institute is mad about what you’re saying about Cuba and Venezuela then you’re probably on the right track even if you did call them “dictatorships” in a later statement.
I absolutely feel being burned. I’ve been very disappointed in some of my more progressive officials in government lately. But right now IMO he’s given no real tangible reason I’ve seen beyond things that have been said to doubt him. Until that point I’m willing to believe that the no condemnation interview version is the “real belief” and the “they’re dictators” statement is a placating bit of politics playing after having said the important part first.
