I don’t know much about him, but I can say that he impressed me more than any other candidate in the very first (2nd tier) debate of the campaign season (I forgot where it was). I liked his style and substance. A no-nonsense kind of guy. Not a phony bone on his body.
Jim was a great car dealer, an okay Governor (ended the car tax),but failed at a run for Senate at the same time David Brat was knocking off Eric Cantor. So probably not Presidential material.
