It's not passion. Its arrogance and impatience and he is known to have that personality. nt stevenleser Oct 2015 #17

People usually don't react well when others interrupt them and yell in their face... ram2008 Oct 2015 #20

You're supposed to react well if you expect to be at the national level. It's not about you. stevenleser Oct 2015 #21

I think he's been pretty consistent on the issues ram2008 Oct 2015 #23

Nice try at changing the subject. His personality will become clear during the six debates. stevenleser Oct 2015 #25
