Ron Howling's interview

Ron Howling arrived early, much to the praise of the moderator. The moderator was, unabashedly, a big Howling fan. They chatted for a while, and then the countdown began. The music of the show, Mutanatia Talks Politics, was heard, and away they went.

"Hello and welcome to Mutanatia Talks Politics," said the moderator. "Joining me today is Ron Howling."

"Hello," said a very confident and comfortable Ron Howling.

"Let's get down to business. Recently, you decided to echo Tabbatha Smith's pledge and backed away from this statement:"

A clip was shown of him saying that there was a Progressivist agenda in the education system.

"Is there anything else you'd like to add" The moderator said.

"Yes. Fear sells," Ron Howling said, choosing his words carefully. "And it had me up in the polls. However, I lied to the Mutant public, and for that I am sorry."

"Do you think this will help in the polls as well?" Asked the moderator.

"It may, but that is not my intention," Howling said.

"Do you agree that the Mutant University needs to be reformed?" Came the question.

"I do."

"But do you see where your model of privatization could go wrong?"

"Yes; however, the state will still cover the cost of education for the poor."

"But that's not the Mutant University?"

"It is. Both the Mutant University and the public school system."

"Last question," Said the moderator. "What will a Ron Howling presidency look like?"

"Conservative," Howling said definitively. "But always willing to compromise."

"Thank you." Said the moderator.

"You are welcome." Said Ron Howling.

"You were right," Mr. Howling told his advisors on the way home. "This was a cakewalk."
