7. He is guided by principle, not by public opinion polls.

He has said that many times about himself, and I absolutely agree with him.

He is not deterred or driven to anger by hecklers, negative press, or uninformed criticism.

I admire and envy his courage and grace under fire.

When he apologized, he wasn't caving; he was listening and learning from criticism.

He views negative criticism as a stimulus for growth.

Somebody should do a psychological profile of this guy and clarify why he has the character and temperament, as well as the energy, to be president.

He is lots more than a list of positions and even a resume of accomplishments.

He is a rock-solid human being with brains and a heart.
