Well, one of these things isn’t like the others: nobody’s ever voted for George Soros. I certainly would not.

I did however vote for Bill Clinton, in 1992. I was 21 years old and took the things he said about “reinventing government” at face value. I thought it was a great idea. It was obvious to me that the way the government worked was broken and honestly thought he intended to fix it.

Of course, it was just a line (one suspects he’s a man with a lot of them), and we never heard a thing about it after the election.
