Fred’s got 2 immediate problems.

1) He will need the $$$$$, no matter what you Fred-goggle wearers think.....so he better start massive fundraising for the finite GOP cash right now. Early Fred supporters only do him a disservice in thinking that Fred will be the only candidate that won’t need the $$$$ or that people are just waiting around to send him $100 mill IF he decides to jump in. Whether you know it or not, most people in the country have no clue who he is...don’t even know he was a Senator....and his being a 7th billing actor won’t give him the name recognition needed to inform the ignorant masses as to who he is and what he stands for.

2) He’s not yet (last info I had) confirmed for the first debate in 2 weeks. No matter the excuses that will fly if he doesn’t attend this first one, it doesn’t give the perception that he wants the job.

...and perceptioon is EVERYthing.

Question: Has a President ever been drafted for the job?

Have you ever heard of George Washington? In case you're not familiar with him, he was our first president and had to be convinced to serve.

Um yea. Ever hear of George Washington? He was more than happy to retired back to Mt. Vernon after the war. Instead he was essentially drafted to run and serve as first President.
