If Fred had not been on a television show, do you think he would be considered electable? Look at him, tired looking, jowls, not that I have anything against him. He might make a decent president, but you know that if he hadn’t been on tv, he would not be given a second look.
You’ve nailed it. Out of desperation Fred Thompson, of all people, is the man they bring in as ‘savior’ of conservatism??!! And I’ve maintained that it is because he is an actor on the side. Yet in person he really is uninspiring and not very personable. Yet they really thought this would assure ‘electability’. He hasn’t even gone over well with all the advantages he’s had in the GOP!! The man would be trouble in a general election and you said what is his major problem and he doesn’t have much of a personal story to bring the respect factor-military service or much of showing great ability in the Senate.
