Former VA Governor and U.S. Army CI Agent now in Presidential Race.
2015-07-31
[Breitbart] Hello, I'm Jim Gilmore and today I am announcing my candidacy for the Republican nomination for President of the United States.

With so many candidates already in the race, some may ask, "Why am I running?" That's a fair question that deserves a straight answer.

I am a candidate for president because our current Washington leadership is guiding America on a path to decline, and I can reverse that decline.

That current leadership is damaging our economic and national security to such a degree, that for this first time in American history, most Americans believe their children will not be better off than they are.

I have a vision for a different America, one that will return America to the policies of a dynamic, entrepreneurial free-market economy and a policy of peace-through-strength for our national security.

I have been looking for someone to enter the race committed to my belief that America's economic and national security is increasingly at risk, but I have not seen a response from anyone that makes me certain about their knowledge or solutions to the threats facing our nation.
Gov. Gilmore is a very impressive, well spoken addition.

#5  Jim Gilmore basically said in his interview with the Richmond paper that he isn’t the most charismatic candidate and that since he is boring and lacks charisma, people should vote for him.

Oh yeah, by the way, he was a governor during the 9/11 attacks.

He sounds politically naïve to me.

Don’t sell your house Jim.

Except for the peanut allotment of course.

#3  I'd settle for a candidate who would just stop the decline, let along reverse it.

Nor have I.
