I find him to be very much like Sean Hannity. He wouldn't be able to build an audience of his own, but can roll out the platitudes, and appeal to the bigotries of his side, making the base angry and mobilized, but lacking the talent of Limbaugh when it comes to blending lies with"humor" or actually building a movement.
