Legislators may campaign as true conservatives but once elected they usually drift towards the establishment deep state. Surprisingly the reason is psychological. The 1984 Olympics were in town and my brother had Olympic soccer match tickets at the Stanford Stadium. Having “attend an Olympic event” on my bucket list, I enthusiastically accepted the invitation.
