Yes, I’m certain that Thompson announced and has gone through all of the travel and appearances because he has absolutely no interest in the job. /s

Did you pay attention to what precipitated his announcement? His repeated statements that he was busy doing other things, that he’d been up to his ears in politics, that he really wasn't sure how interested he was in doing this? Sure he finally made the announcement because the conservative Republican world, myself included, were begging him to do it. But I don’t think he’s ever been whole heartedly into this, as his demeanor, physical appearance and overall approach has shown. His announcement that not winning SC will end his candidacy suggests to me a certain relief on his part. If you're a conservative you don't like this. I don't like it either. But its stupid to live in denial.
