See, a very personable man. He'd connect with the public. I've read many of these stories and the more I've seen of him, the more convincing he is. People need to just watch for him and give him a chance. The GOP would be foolish to let this one get away.

He may be very personable when you meet him one-on-one, and I'm sure he's a nice, polite and decent person.
But he comes across on TV as a dour personality, seldom smiling, usually in a tone of disapprobation about one thing or another. I see none of the sunny optimism of a Reagan or the self-deprecating humor of a W.
Add to this "personality deficit" the fact that he's a Congressman -- a category that hasn't produced a President in 130 years.
Bottom line: He doesn't stand a chance.
