Not exactly. He was kind of a hanger-on who started schmoozing the Gettys when he was very young, then got one of them to invest money in some vanity things like a winery. I'm not sure exactly how he parlayed that into living so well. There's probably a really good biography in his future where we figure all of this out.

To me, more of an empty suit than a stalking horse for the economic elite. He has always had plenty of ambition without ever really standing for anything policy-wise. Good hair and access to a lot of extremely wealthy people who can donate to his campaigns.

He’s godfather to one of the Gettys.

It's pretty telling that everyone (Republican and Democrat) in this thread is pretty much resigned to voting for the "least worst" option. :(

 

That's what happens when you have a first-past-the-post election system. It just devolves into a two-party mess where you're voting more against the other team than for your own team.
