He's not ready for a Presidential run..and has definitely stated so. He's smart enough to know he needs to get seasoned in Washington... and state such. I'd prefer seeing him one day as Sec. of State where he can make a difference on an International scale. Nobody would pull the wool over his eyes as you knows HOW to identify our enemies and is unafraid to do so. But who knows...time will tell where his aspirations lead him.

We shall see how things go but I do see him moving up the channels and see no reason to do anything other than support his efforts. When the time comes he will certainly seize the moment...equally as much if it isn't he will determine his course.

You say:
“He's not ready for a Presidential run..and has definitely stated so.”

Every West thread has a coupla FR’s come in and state this UNTRUTH

The only two reasons I can think of as to why is: they are misinformed on both counts or

they have another horse in the race...and are practicing ‘soft praise’ that pretends “I like him BUT...”

If you are in the No.one cat: Listen to his own words - and listen with comprehension. This is what he is answering to the increasing pressure for him to run:

at the end, he says: “If it be His will - it'll be taken care of, alright?”

Get it?

He is not running NOW - he's not going to jump in and join the current dog pony show between the plethora of candidates and the media frenzy whose trying to decide who our candidate will be. (Remember, Reagan didn't declare until November. Anyone who can't make their case in a full year before elections shouldn't be running. They should be doing the job they were elected to do.

Col. West is going to use the next 5-6 months to learn the machinations of the wheeler dealers in DC.

“get seasoned in Washington?”

We've had enough of ‘seasoned’ politicians. He's an intelligent man. He'll learn what he needs to re DC - fast. He's scarring the bejeebers out of them down there. Name one other freshman congressman who's getting the coverage he is?

As for the issues - name one he isn't conversant on and on the right side of. Go to YouTube and listen to the clips - on immigration, on Islam, on Israel, on the Constitution, etc - name one other candidate whose as strong on the Constitution and protecting America, who knows who and what our enemy really is, ...

name one other candidate - ‘seasoned in WAshington” or not - that is as knowledgeable on the issues - or as true blue PROVEN Conservative

No one intimidates this man and he does not ‘speak PC.’ and NO ONE puts words in his mouth...(not even Greta)

‘obama like a third world dictator’

Well, here's an interview - last week with CSPAN - he touches on most all issues

If you have another candidate you prefer, fine. Be honest about it. Don't post inaccurate information that might steer people away from him as a candidate.

I hope FREEPERS won't put up with the ‘soft praise’ tactics this time around.
