Gotta admit, that was my first thought too. :lol:

I think he's a solid choice. There were accusations of sexual misconduct in his past, but nothing proven, and I expect a lot of discussion about that.

I'm not, nor am I necessarily for the 9-9-9 plan. I don't have to agree with everything he says or has ever said. Otherwise I'd have to reject everyone, including myself, above the age of 18 months.

Okay. Just curious as to how much of his platform you supported. I don't know much about the position or prevaling winds in economic policy myself.

The sexual misconduct allegations worry me the most. But then again, that's a pretty broad description. Anything from rape to molestation to simply jerking off behind a public trash can and getting caught. Obviously the last one would be the most tame.
