Roosevelt wasn't particularly thought of as presidential material and who would ever have thought that The Terminator was material for any kind of political office let alone Gov. of California? I know I thought it was a joke.

Just two years ago, Grayson was considered a one term wonder who wasn't Congressional Material.

I think he would make a great president. He would be more like Teddy Roosevelt and LBJ, no nonsense and no tolerance for Republican shenanigans as is apparent in all his interactions with them in Congress.

He's got my vote!
