He’s showed them before now believe me. I initially liked him and thought he was the next rising Repub. star. Then I saw him, had to be at least 6 or more years ago on CNN at an airport returning from Germany. He appeared with a government official from Puerto Rico. That did it for me. He was guarded and fudged on several things. Can’t remember details at this point but I could tell he was not being honest and I didn’t like it or trust him afterwards. Time has proven I was correct. I think being older helps too. When you are younger you tend to project onto people what you hope for and you believe them way too easily. Time has a way of fixing that, too ;- )

That was a different time, too, even 6 years ago, so the zeitgeist definitely plays into your perceptions.

I've always said that if you are a man of principle, you are virtually error-proof against "gotcha" questions and debate tactics. You can think on your feet, and not have to stand dumbfounded while trying to quickly figure out which way the poll-winds are blowing, or what is the current party narrative.
