Gee, same was said about the current President.
And look how well he turned out!
great, our best hope is basically a successful carnival barker
Best hope? Who knows. Placing your hope in men is a good way to be disappointed. But this particular carnival barker has extensive executive experience, has real accomplishments, knows how to negotiate with other powerful men, has run the gauntlet of political & bureaucratic trolls many times to get what he wanted, and is willing to take hits from the MSM and current craptacular political class.
Or maybe the GOP can prop up yet another Bush to run against whatever creature gets the nod from the Dems.
