I would give it a thought or two but I would like to know more about his views on the important issues of the day. A general can be a great president—we have had some good ones in the past.
The general has a number of published works, unlike other potential candidates coming from outside the normal political channels. I don’t know if his expressed views will conflict with the average American’s views on the issues of the day, however he has had to stand for and defend, his works a number of times. Unlike the academic record of our current president, his academic and professional work can be examined and judged on its own merit. I’m sure he hasn’t taken public positions on some social issues of importance of conservatives, but he does have a long and strong public background.
