...served as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs and Secretary of the Navy under Reagan; elected to Senate as a Democrat (for anyone who doesn't know his history).

He advocates on both sides of the political fence...my bottom line judgment: conservative.

There's literally no other reason for him to run for president. Like, at all.

Thank the Universe that he is so unlikely to be the Democratic nominee, that I won't have to vote for him in the General Election, then quit my job and move to D.C. to follow him to his every public event ... because I'm pretty certain, I'm gonna have a bunch of problems with most of his policy initiatives.

One can never be reminded enough of such things such as how you'd bow down on bended knee for Big Oil like you did to the coal industry. You didn't even pretend to change, I'll give you that much.

Best of luck to you with that exploratory committee, and I mean that sincerely. Hopefully, they'll be honest enough to tell you you have less chances than I do of actually getting nominated.

Now please go back to kissing Big Oil's butt in hopes of some campaign cash like a good little tool. It's all you've got left, your dreams of being a fossil fuel industry super hero, now. Because you are not electable on a national level.
