Personally, I think he's from the realist wing of the Corpoate-Republican party: that is, he feels it's necessary for the rich to allow the plebs something, enough to kinda-sorta live on, if they wanna keep grabbing the lion's share for themselves. The ones who control the party today are from the greed-crazed wing who want all the money and happily let people starve in the streets.
Starting to channel his father, who talked about having been on welfare (well, actually a Mormon charity) as a child, and was a decent human being when it came to rich guys.
We've even begun to do that in Mexico, a much less weathy nation than Norway. One of the weirder conservative objections is that... given the money is sent directly to the receipient's bank account, but few poor people have bank accounts, and access to banks in rural areas is spotty, the state is building banks in rural communties (which also means they have to provide internet service and in some places electrictity) and giving out debit cards... but not that poor families are receiving direct cash payments.
If you think Obamacare is a good policy, it feels pretty hypocritical to not acknowledge striking similarities with Romneycare, which he signed into law in Massachusetts in 2006 - and not at least give Mitt *some* credit for being instrumental in implementing a program that provided the residents of his state similar benefits years before Democrats took his proof-of concept nation-wide under Obama.
There is plenty of negative things to say about him - he's also made some serious partisan hacky moves - but he legit has been on the progressive side of the GOP in terms of policy ... and occasionally more so than some Dems.
l had those thoughts back then as well. My SO and I were just talking about how depressing it is that all the old monsters we thought were banished have crawled out from under their rocks again.
Cotillion didn't really cost much and was a valuable school for basic social manners. How to ask for a dance, eat together, etc. Before we moved South, in New York State it was called Dancing School. Foxtrot, waltz a little square dancing, along with the manners. I am glad I did it and glad I sent my kids.
Mormons, Ultra Conservative Jews, Dominionists, Quiverful Fundagelicals, etc.. Every fundamentalist religion wants to populate the world with their spawn. God Wills It.
I didn't realize before I watched this clip that Sean Spicer had added his whiny little twit voice to the Newsmax line up. Great Dog but he is an unattractive spokesman. He sounds like he is in middle school and about to get a swirly.

Maybe that's why he left upstate NY.
Better him than any of these other fools.

We had Jews and Hispanics (Tampa FL). maybe Blacks in New York.
Shaker Heights kids were excluded? Surprising
Read about the Iodine Belt sometime.
