I considered him to be solid right when he started his career. His politics is definitely not far right, and it's leaned more left over time. But I would consider him right, except the far right have gone so off the deep end. We also don't have like... An anarchist party or any real far left politicians in America.

That's most of the reason I said "at best". He's much farther right than the right seem to think he is. Everything is messed up here.
