I really don’t get the Dole comparison. Dole never spoke of any of the things Fred has in the same no-nonsense manner. If you mean both are “old” fine. Although Fred’s no older than Rudy or Mitt really. A couple years, big deal.
I really don’t see the comparison.
And let's not forget, Ronald Reagan was nearly 70 when he ran for office and held office for 8 years. Fred is 66. Ron Paul is 72. McCain is 71. Giuliani is 63. Romney is 60. Hunter is 59. Huckabee is 52. Hillary will be 60 in October (Scorpio, not Libra).
” If you mean both are “old” fine.”
Not necessarily “old” - because Regan was “old” but exuded alot of energy and humor.
I don’t think Thompson “exudes” much at all.
He already looks tired, and he’s just started.
With Dole - he was compared to the youthful energetic Clinton.
If Thompson faces off against Barak - there will be a similar problem.
Not sure how well he’ll compare with Hillary, especially if her scandals keep sprouting.
We’ll see.
I’m not dead-set against him. He just doesn’t inspire confidence...yet.
