What political figures or pundits of the opposite political spectrum from you do you respect? For conservatives, I mean other than the obvious, like Sinema, Manchin or Lieberman.

For me, definitely Ron Paul.

Also, Krystal Ball, an anchor for The Hill.

Actually, Rogan is not a political pundit and his views are neither left or right.

I don't like him as a comedian, but he's cool as a political commentator.

That alone doesn't make Rogan conservative or liberal. He has opinions that favor (or offend) both sides.

If he votes for a socialist that makes him a left winger politically in my view.

There are plenty of lefties in the GOP, unfortunately. Whatever, agree to disagree.

Ron Paul?............First class jerk, in my book.
His latest 'patriotic' vitriol.

You're thinking of Rand Paul.

Ron was his father. He was an uber-libertarian who would run for the GOP nomination every 4 years and his followers would come out of the woodwork to demand that the Fed be audited, isolationist foreign policy and to tell the truth about the Moon landing.
