The things he's done for his own party outweighs any "progressive" bone in his body.Um, let's see, how about first we start off with fixing Detroit's finances? You think any true-to-the-bones conservative Republican would have touched that? No it would have been the same answer that the city received for the last fifty year: Too bad, so sad, now go deal with it yourself. Snyder put into motion the ability to put aside a mayor who meant well but didn't have any idea as well as a City Council who was dead set against...well everything...and got things done.
If that's not enough, some of the other things that were kind of non-Republican-like include pushing for a Medicaid expansion, supporting a state-run health Exchange, stumping for the Proposal 1 tax increase.
Yes, he's done quite a few Republican-like things, I mean he IS in fact a Republican, but he does not follow the proverbial handbook that so many politicians seem to follow where they make their decisions solely based on what the party suggests they should do.
He can't be any worse than what we been getting lately from both parties. Presidents latety have been little more than figureheads.
It's the bureaucracy that's in control.
