It's really still far too early for Republicans to select their presidential candidate, but if they think it through they should do so soon. And they also should consider what's needed by the next electee to get the nation back on track, even if that candidate doesn't meet every single one of their personal wishes. Especially because the perfect leader doesn't exist.
I'm mentioning this because there's so much speculation about whether or not the Republican field is finalized or if others will decide to run, and who those new entries might be. However, with the exception of Governor Christie who's still saying he won't enter the race, there's no one worthwhile left to consider.
I think that, if nothing else, what we've all seen for the past three years is that inexperience is just about the most damaging fault imaginable, and is greatly responsible for reducing our nation to practically third-world status. Aside from that, putting personal beliefs and goals above all else leads to polarization of most of the population, furtherance of class warfare, and diminution of the American Dream.
What all this adds up to is the need for someone in office who understands governance, responsibility for a diverse population, and especially, how bureaucracies work so that all the grief and expense caused by their unbridled power can be undone. And that means that to have any chance of correcting the foundering course the nation's currently pursuing, the next leader has to have governing experience at the very least.
So while all the current candidates might be great at debates or know how to throw verbal harpoons at others, if they haven't run sizable governments and learned what's required from experience, they're exactly the same as the current incumbent who's nothing more than hot air. That's why, if they really care about their nation and its population they ought to simply drop out of the race. Because none of us can afford to pay for another empty suit's education, regardless of the size of their egos.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
