I heard him talk today for the first time, guy has the ability to weasel his way out of answering questions with a high degree of confidence and businessman charisma.

Comes across as not insane, even when saying ludicrous bullshit. (Which is constantly, even more than Trump - since Trump is usually just rambling about himself etc)

This is a scary combination of things.

I heard a piece on him by NPR that said the same thing. Apparently his plan is to hit the federal government by 75% and something else, I can't remember. His ideas are basically bat shit and he knows nothing about politics, foreign policy, or running a government. But his confidence and ability to hand wave and deflect are out of this world apparently. Scary shit for sure.
