He has ...I would argue he's more like Ted Cruz. He has all the worst qualities of Lindsey Graham you mentioned, while also being unlikable to even those in his own party. Pierre comes off as one of those "<a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/how-stephen-harper-s-inner-circle-has-changed-1.2652571" rel="nofollow">boys in short pants</a>" that Harper had that those around him derided <i>while</i> Harper was PM. I realise I'm saying this after he won more than 50% of the vote for the CPC leadership, but I think that had more to do with the shallow pool of candidates that the CPC had.<br /><br />When your most credible candidate is someone who became his party's leader (a party that no longer exists, it should be noted) shortly after it was annihilated by a record amount in 1993 (nearly three decades ago!), you done fucked up! I mean, even before he got kicked off the ticket, Patrick Brown had too much baggage to get elected leader. Leslyn Lewis is a social Conservative whose views don't have nationwide appeal, so she had little chance. Everyone else was just filler.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
