He's too low in the polls, I've been told.

He should run for the Senate instead, I've been told.

He's not the smooth-talking mayor of a college town, I've been told.

He's not "seasoned" like a former vice president, I've been told.

He was "born to be president", which was a bad thing, I've been told.

He shouldn't "apologize" so much, I've been told.

He's too "white" and "privileged" to be president, I've been told.

It's frustrating to hear these things, but that's how things go.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
