I expected much more from him.

I expected more from you.

It is beyond me that there are people who consider themselves serious about politics and conservatism who want an "entertaining" presidential candidate. If you are an adult, serious about conservatism, and have an attention span greater than two minutes, you have to grant FDT that he has interesting positions worth listening to. And his take no prisoners attitude is clear in his speeches and debate appearances, which should entertain even the most attention deficit individual.

The guy is not boring unless you simply refuse to listen.

It is questionable whether the poster you are responding to possesses the qualities you describe. More likedly just another detractor who won’t admit who they actually do support.....from either party.

Accurate observations from you though, TN4.

Entertaining is a very shallow word to use. I would prefer words like inspiring, motivating, and convincing. Leadership qualities that Fred possesses infrequently to my utter dismay. I’m a Christian social conservative and I made no secret here that I like Mike, and could easily pull the lever for Fred as well. The truth sometimes can be difficult. But Fred needs more than conservative credentials and ideas but needs to connect with a broader range of Conservatives than yourself. If I say “the Great Communicator” who do you think of? Fred does not come to mind, at least for me. Reagan had a very good understanding of this concept. Fred SHOULD, and that’s whats so frustrating about him. “There he goes again” every heard that? How about “No hands today”. I’m sure even you enjoyed that. Fred needs a lot more of this to connect. But he waits until no one is watching. Further, it's important for everyday folks to identify with him. Maybe only Elite Conservative think-tankers are worthy of Fred. How much of the Electorate do they make up?
