Could he just have been on the stiff and unnatural side, speaking on camera with a huge TV audience? I've done so myself a couple of times, can't imagine what impression I gave off the first time (barely able to think coherently, must less speak well LOL) Or is this wishful thinking on my part?

I really would LOVE to see him run for U.S. Senate when this is all said and done... would you be comfortable with that given your impression of him so far?

I think he'd be a much safer bet in the Senate than as head of a State or anything else very large. I would not want him head of the Senate or any hazardous oversight committee.

There's just too many red flags about the persistent undercurrent from the nonverbal cues. Have seen enough of such political animals do enough damage.

Only his stated and seeming track record of values would make him kosher enough for me to accept into the Senate given the worrying nonverbals. A less conservative person would not make the grade . . . though I wonder . . . sometimes it's the "TRUE BELIEVERS" who are most rabid, irrational, narrow, rigid and megalomaniacal.
