I heard. The one draw back, is he needs to come on stronger--not sure if that's the right word. He needs a 'fire in his belly'--his policies are excellent but he needs to get the attention of people. He has my attention because I'm already invested. But he needs to draw in the younger votes--I fear his 'style' won't do that.

His voice NEEDS to be heard....I want him in this race. If he's gonna draw away supporters he's gotta 'bring it' know what I mean? Maybe The Rock can help..lol. I really like him.

What do you think?
