We need a “dual class” fighter/statesman,
someone who isn’t all “my distinguished colleague”,
someone who makes the left actually defend themselves instead of hiding behind strawmen and the race card.
For me it is the little things. Have you ever heard him hem and haw? No, ahh, ummm, ahhh, ummm. That drives me crazy...spit it out! Also he is so knowledgeable, he does not appear to need a staff to think for him. I have yet to see him dumbfounded. He is direct, calm and resolute. He does not try to blow smoke. I think he is fantastic, I wish we could clone him.
