Also, he does seem to be the candidate that best understands current technology trends and future needs imo.
That was a big drop in Bloomberg that’s just fact!

Another thing I love is how uncomfortable his campaign manager looks sometimes 😂

His understanding of the impact of technology, (which, these days has everything to do with the economy, jobs and our future as a country) is sound and forward looking. Because of that, his ideas for solutions are far more relevant than the other candidates are promoting in some ways.

Since I am not expecting and upset from him in the Primaries, I would strongly hope that the candidate who does win listens to what he knows and his ideas about our voyage into the Fourth Industrial Revolution, (already in progress). In fact, he really should get a relevant position in the new Administration that gives him the ability to act on some of his ideas. We need that badly.

The shift from old politics, economics, etc., is upon us and the Republicans, (as one example) are revealing themselves as obsolete, political dinosaurs that would most likely plunge us into a Neo-Feudal Dark Age rather than facilitate the big changes and transitions we face in the coming decades.

I go one step further, in hoping that he does place well in early states, picks up steam, and becomes our nominee.

He has the same optimistic, unifying message as Obama and I know he would be our strongest candidate against Trump.

Well, it does happen. It's like a horse race where the long shot pulls up in the last stretch and takes the win.

So, I do share your sentiments there. I would have confidence in his leadership at this stage.
