13. I live in CA. He's not a bad governor.

And of course, he’s not as extreme as FOX plays it. He has vetoed some truly stupid stuff by the state legislature too and some mayors haven’t been very cooperative with him as well. He has shown leadership through several crises while dealing with a president who wants to destroy this state. I do like that he’s willing to take on a fight and he doesn’t back down easily.

He’d make a good president, but it’s hard to get past the CA label and he comes off a little too slick. I’d be surprised if he can connect with folks in some of these other states. I just don’t see it.
