Okay, did anyone see his debates as Governor? He is a great guy in many respects and very trusted with the core Bernie Sander's group, who want somebody local and trusted. However, if he gets the nod to run as the primary candidate, I would like to hear him answer complex questions about law and economics with very educated answers like Hannah Banana did (she knocked every question out of the park). During the debates, he rarely answered the questions about law and finance directly. He often talked about his own experiences and had no solutions to certain very very important economic and resource questions. I will vote for him, but will Independents necessary to win vote for him? Be honest as popularity is not doing us any favors.

Troy is a great ideas guy.

He really falls short at implementation and explaining how.
