I like hearing him speak, I like the &#x27;grumpy grandpa-ness&#x27; he espouses and his track record of consistency. I get excited by the actual alternative views he presents, typically it feels like Repubs and Dems are almost the same with only slight deviations on social issues (abortion, immigration, and gay marriage). I like that he doesn&#x27;t toe party lines and will respectfully criticize Republicans as well as Obama. And again he has authenticity, his views seem to come from an actual place of concern and thought instead of a focus group or from trying to align himself within a particular political ideology.
