my impressions almost never jive with the media's
For example, a cursory scan of the TV and internet news continues to tell me today that Carson is winning hearts and minds, that he is the most popular Republican candidate for president. The one who keeps impressing me is Rubio, not because he's spotless, but because he is taking the high road and sounding sharp while he's on it. My partner finds him frightening, considers him to be the most dangerous of the lot because he has a chance of winning. I don't know what to think of him and wish the media would focus on Rubio, Paul, etc more and less on tRump and cARSon. Oh well, I don't care about it enough to really study on it, just impressions here.
