Nonsense. Thompson, who I liked personally, ran as though he didn't want the nomination.
Rush helped sandbag our best general election candidate, Fred Thompson.
“Rush helped sandbag our best general election candidate, Fred Thompson.”
No. Rush didn’t so that. Fred did that.
Fred had NO PASSION. He fizzled away. He mislead us and let us down. I would have voted for him in the primary had he stayed in.
No.
I agree with the other poster. Fred was probably my second choice after Hunter, but when I heard Thompson speak in New Hampshire, I was discouraged, to say the least.
He had all the charisma of drying paint. Nothing personal, but when running for public office, you have to at least appear dynamic and energetic. I saw him in a diner up there talking to people, and he looked like someone who was completely lost and had come in to ask for directions. He DID look old and feeble. I had no idea he would come across that way, because I had only read his statements and saw the video with him smoking that cigar, which I really liked.
I don’t watch television so I had never seen him in that medium. I was surprised. There was no way on earth he would have won a national campaign. I am not basing my opinion solely on his appearance, and was familiar with his policy positions, but that was a real shocker for me.
Just my opinion.
