Are you sure it is an act?
No, I think the guy suffers from the same mental issues that drive leftists to be idiots, but it doesn't keep him from setting up a more conservative/Republican style administration. Maybe the guy sees a trend, sees that the pendulum needs to swing back to the right, and he's wants to put his name on it like he does everything else. He's not ideologically conservative but maybe it's about building the right team to do the right thing. I dunno. Wishful thinking maybe, I was rooting for Cruz, and I felt like I was over doing it with my fear of Trump.
