Watching on repeat on MSNOW. As expected, don't see anything close to SCHTICK!

Now could he be full of shit?, possibly. But can he be worse than Collins, NO.

Gut feel, he is a gruff, rough around the edges guy. He owned up to his mistakes then went after Collins, directly and hard, while pushing Democratic principles.

Send him out to CA, I like him better than every Dem who ran for Governor.

For full disclosure, I am a gruff, rough around the edges guy. Never sexted, but have made some mistakes.

Looking at the big picture, we need some guys like him to pull in Independent men. Thus, the upside is much greater than the downside.
