He always struck me as a sharp and charismatic guy.
I think he would be interesting to watch in debates.

Also, he would have appeal in the South, which Democrats normally would write off as unwinnable (like, for example, if Hillary was the candidate)

Plus, he has that presidential aura or presence, something that is hard to define, but he has "it".
