Well said. Reluctant politicians always seem to have the greatest appeal , and seem far more trustworthy .

Agreed. I would never vote for mittflop or julie-annie, both of them are the weakest, fakest “frontrunners” I’ve ever seen.

Thompson saw the obvious hole made by the liberal and unsatisfying republican top-tier, and the demand from across the country for his entry made him see that republicans are begging for a strong, real conservative, a man’s man.

I’ll be voting for Fred in the primaries. :)

Yeah, I definitely agree. But, I do wish he'd drop the "honey" thing when addressing women. As a man, I hate it when a waitress calls me "hon" or "sugar". To me it's condescending and most of all, it's patronizing. From what I've read and heard, women don't like it either.

But, if it works for him........
