“He’s a little tired and slow, which doesn’t work well in the shark pool.”
I think maybe voters may be tired of accepting one of the sharks. Thompson is the only candidate that will answer questions with a yes answer or a no answer - and not both to the same question. I saw him interviewed by David Gregory on TV this morning. The interviewers appear to not know how to respond to the direct answers.
I think the only choices voters will have are the sharks, or those handled by sharks.
