49. That's exactly my point

He’s a great governor, I’m sure, and I like what he’s said, the FEW times I’ve seen him. My point is I think he lacks that certain carisma that both Clinton and Obama had.
Maybe has those qualities and I just haven't seen it yet, but that's why we have a primary campaign to make the case before the people. If he decides to run, I’ll certainly listen with an open mind, but at THIS point in time, I don't think he's electable on the national stage.

Yes, the same as Bill Clinton. It's ludicrous for someone to say he's not ready to be president. Wanderlust988 12 hrs ago #29

Correct. This is really all just a fun exercise pinkstarburst 10 hrs ago #42

If he's so popular nationwide calguy 12 hrs ago #24
