You say you don't know much about him but then you criticize him. We don't get to pick the family we're born into. He seems to connect well with people his age.

And I'm not sure what qualifies someone to hold political office, other than meeting age, citizenship and in some cases residency requirements.

But he'll have to do the leg work and get the votes just like everyone else.
