More to the point, they find him to be sort of amusing. I live in a State that just legalized cannabis, so that's a big issue here and no one thinks he actually favors the policies we favor. No one. Not even the Republicans. They really dislike him.

I'm always amazed when I read posts that say 'I know lots of people who like him' because it is so very different from my own experience. I don't doubt it, but I would like to report the opposite since it is also the case.
