“... Measures worked out by Congress. That thought is enough to make you sick!” This man needs to be our President. When I watch his videos now, I reply to the screen, “You got that right, Mister President.” Feels just about right!

I think he’s sitting in his touring bus, on his way to Texas, perhaps? I’m going to a breakfast with him Thursday morning in San Antonio, so excited!

Fred comes off so down-to-earth, sincere, and so relaxed....he is just gonna smoke this election. And now the wapo has gotten into a public hissyfit over his remarks about America shedding more blood for freedom than all other countries combined and have called him on it.

They are about to know what it is like to be a bowling pin. This is fun!

Paraphrased: Hillary says don’t worry about the punishment for not having health insurance. Those will be worked out later...by Congress. Scary — that thought is enough to *make* you sick. (then a big grin).

Ha — good shot!

I watched the video, and Fred came off to me like a phony. The “aw shucks” thing seemed quite forced. I will be interested in watching him in debates, because I was not at all impressed by this.

I like what I have read about most of Fred’s positions, but the Walter-Matthau-as-Earl-Long performance worries me. It seems shallow.

I hope I’m wrong, and Fred turns out to be fast on his feet and tough in debate.

HITLERCARE....

Come on. Fred was playing around. Like he did on the Michael Moore video. He was mocking and ridiculing HillaryCareII.

Seems like the obtuse contingent is in over their heads.

OMG! He totally trashed that strident power hungry screaming micromanaging lying witch...with a few words and a smile...while sitting on a bus. LOLOL

All the plotting and planning she must have put into reviving her health care takeover and in a minute Fred makes her look like an idiot. LOL

Wow! I hope he uses this same approach on his campaign commercials. It’s the type of commercial all would sit up and take notice.

Of course, it’s usually the big city snobs who react to a good old fashioned southern drawl like the rest of us react to nails on a chalkboard.

This video clip made my day. Humor is a great way to get your deadly-serious points across.

With Fred, it's the knuckle within the chuckle.

The stilted delivery is concerning, not because of the content....the content is fine.

The pulling on his ears and chin tells me he's assembling his quip/lines slower than he's talking.

If he does this in a debate it's going to be problematic for showmanship.

I don't care about showmanship, but that's how Reagan won with "There you go again..." Reagan was quick, and yet he was cast as dull-witted. The press and the opposition will have no trouble casting aspersions on Fred.

Because you might choose “wrong”

So, you must be FORCED, yes, FORCED, to make the “correct” choices.

Er, uh. He's got a little bit of big city snobbishness himself by recording a commercial while being driven around in the back seat.

Get the lines together, sit in front of the camera, put the tie on or off, and do the spot!

Your asterisks point out that it comes across so much better when he says it, than it does in print.

Just thinking of Hillary in charge of anything at all, with all the corruption she is capable of is enough to *make* me sick.
