He sounds like a good guy, but I bet like Governor Christie here in NJ, it plays well on a local level but the powers that be will never let him get on the big ticket!!! I like Governor Christie and his no BS attitude but, as I have said in the past, he should run for the Senate and try to change the system from there!!! Neither party will ever allow a bombastic free-thinker become President!!!
