“He has not shown the witty, amiable perceptive bullsht that Mr. Reagan could shovel to friends and opponents, so I don’t know about how he will come across on the national stump or in sound bites.”
Yeah well Bob Dole wasn’t a barrel of laughs either. In fact none of our candidates since Reagan had much humour except George W Bush who was elected twice. As much as we all hammer Bush on his faults and RINO leanings he was at least likable and could actually be pretty funny. Can’t say that about Dole, McCain, Romney etc. Besides the fact those RINOs did not provide enough distinction compared to the dem those candidates were not even likable which is extremely important in a general election. Obama is not likable either but somehow he is perceived to be .. perhaps because of hois shit-eating smile ... plus he is black so he got a pass
