As opposed to Al Bore or Horse-face Kerry? Let's face it, except for 2016, we haven't had a decent candidate for President since 1984. And that goes for BOTH parties!
Frankly the last good President was Calvin Coolidge, who was a ramrod Conservative to the core. I don’t even count Reagan as one, he was anything but based on his record as President and Governor.
The last great Conservative period was the Marquess of Lansdowne in England during W.W. I.
I totally identify with the 19th Century Liberal party of England. Look them up!
