He is NOT what they were. He is a major departure from those two men. He is certainly does not appear to be as intelligent as they were.

I do not align with his policies. I think his position on vaccines has been damaging.

That he would have a photo op or anything to do with Steve Bannon crushes his candidacy with me forever.

One can be judged by the company they keep.

I could say more but do not care to waste my time on him.
