Like most politicians, I still don't trust him...but, yeah, he's amazing in these interviews, and it certainly does make me more willing to extend the benefit of the doubt. He's an incredible politician. Hopefully he's for real, and is a good guy too. Seems like it, but you can never tell.

(of the final candidates, he seemed the best).

Agreed. I had my issues, but I was rooting for him too. He's delivered, and then some. A lot of some.
