It’s something in the facial expressions that comes across as smarmy. Like, “Oh you liked that? Well listen to this….!” A used car salesman vibe. I fell for it with Romney a decade ago even when others smarter than me were warning. I have no intention of falling for it again.
I understand that. When they talk like a TV preacher, a funeral director, or a used car salesman, my radar goes off. Like I told #1Pal, I hope he’s the real deal. I’m sick of politician speak. Like you, I am more cautious now.
I’m not ruling him out. Not by a long shot, but he will have to earn my trust.
