He’s been pretty honest about that, but he’s his own man here running for president. A big plus.
'His own man' is an ambiguous phrase intended to imply something concretely positive but that's not always the case. John Gotti was his own man too. So, in and of itself that has little value to a voter like me whose concern is voting for a leader who has a proven track record of supporting and fighting for the conservative values, principles and ideas I hold dear.
