I don't think he represents me, but I think he'd actually represent the values of the people who vote for him, which I think is more than I can say about any other candidates.

No he wouldn't. He would represent his own values which differ greatly from the vast majority of citizens.

And he would run into the exact same reality as Obama.

I just think that when Americans' main hope to reform their system is a 76 year old guy running for president, there is a bigger problem.

Granted, this guy is an ideologically pure multi term congressman loved by many people. But if Obama got gray hair from 4 years, I can only imagine what the congress is gonna do to this fiery fellow...
