Seen the Tucker Carlson video? I sure have. Never watched his show \u002D\u002D thought he was a jerk, life\u0027s too short, etc. \u002D\u002D but his video? Wow.
1. He’s young. Joe Biden, 80, and Donald Trump, 77, have been around since Jesus was a little fella. They look it. Polls say voters think both of them are too old. Carlson is 53 and could pass for 33.
2. He’s the conservative poster boy. In fact, Carlson has been providing talking points for Donald Trump’s political career ever since Trump left the Democrats to become a Republican. There’s a reason why Trump, Ron De Santis, Nikki Haley and every GOP luminary always whined and wheedled to get on his show: Carlson was seen by three million hardcore Republicans every single night. No one else ever came close.
3. He knows TV. And he looks better than the competition, too. Trump, meanwhile, looks like an overstuffed orange sofa, and Biden — as much as I love the guy — recalls Methuselah in aviators. In modern politics, image is everything — more important than speeches, policy or brains. Ask Joe Clark, Stephane Dion, Erin O’Toole : you can be a genius, but if you look weird on TV, you’re done like dinner.Article content4. He can raise money. And Carlson will.
5. His timing is perfect. Fox is rumored to have a non-compete with their former marquee star — but not for a run for President. Unlike Biden, he isn’t unpopular with the folks who make up his base. And, unlike Trump, he isn’t a monkey with a machine gun — and he isn’t under indictment, either.Article content
