That's not my take yet.

I do understand why others might think so, it is a charge he didnd't really respond to and it stuck, true or not.

A lot of us have already made up our minds and we come from different places so I respect that though I might disagree. All our Republican candidates are good people with decent ideals and I’ll vote for the one that wins.

So lately, I’ve been trying to look at them from the common voter’s point of view. Eighteen years in marketing gives me a good start. Your average voter in a primary makes up his mind behind the voting curtain. His first objective is party and next is what he remembers about the candidates. And that isn’t very much. Many of them only have a fleeting picture in their minds. If they remember Fred as looking old and tired it’ll go against him.

He said he didn’t want to run and then backtracked and he didn’t register in Texas. Are these mental lapses? If I were Fred I’d rather go back to Hollywood.
