Is there any way we can get to the convention and get somebody that's not in play now? We are in deep doo doo. I'll vote for Thompson but doesn't look like he's going for it 100%.

Such a shame a really likeable favorite isn't out there running now - I do think the convention with the more conservative attendees could pick a good one and opt for none that are running right now! Please, I need some hope?

I'll vote for Thompson but doesn't look like he's going for it 100%.

Based on what set of observations and/or facts did you come to that conclusion?

Thompson's "fault" is that he wants to explain what the current situation is and then what he would do to correct it. The MSM doesn't want to pay attention to him that long; they would rather get a few sentences, a quip, a short anecdote ar a sound-bite or two and be on their way to happy hour.

So, they imply he is "tired" and "lazy" and "uncommitted".
