What's all this talk about Braun being so great? I mean from what I could see, he is alright, but nothing that outstanding. What am I missing here?
He's a former businessman who has actual experience and can easily contrast that with Rokita and Messer, two career politicians (I have nothing against that, but people obviously do) who are really easy to make targets out of.
Mike Braun is the Generic R. There is nothing to dislike him for outside of his basic Republican ideas (stand for the pledge, pro-life, etc.) and his stupid primary votes, which people won't care about in the general. He doesn't have the massive residency issues of Messer or odd personality and obvious political ambition of Rokita. Another thing, he can self fund. That's a big detail that I haven't seen mentioned much.
