In case you thought every member of the Republican Party is batshit-insane, this guy seems reasonable – term-limited Nevada governor Brian Sandoval. From an interview in The Nevada Independent:
Sandoval, a Catholic, said he had not evolved on abortion – he has always been pro-choice. “At the end of the day, I believe that decision is up to a woman” he said. “It’s her body, it’s her decision.” And on gay marriage, where he said he has changed his mind, he said, “My best friends are gay. They deserve to be happy, they deserve to have the partner of their choice….That’s where I am now.”
When I asked him why he opposed pot legalization when an argument could be made that gambling is even more addictive, Sandoval said he had never smoked marijuana but believed it to be a gateway drug. “I have had the benefit of serving as a judge, and when I did my sentencings, marijuana was almost always involved as a gateway.”
Reminds me of the better Republicans of 30 years ago.
