No, with a master politician you get things like campaign finance reform, amnesty, and war turned political mess. A master leader would have the US fully mobilized to take care of Iran and Pakistan, instead of messed-up political war—benchmarks? how about win and border fence!

[Weeedley]

A leader takes the aspirations of the people and turns that into action. It takes politics to know what these aspirations are, and build a consensus to “get er done” The people want a fence and locked down border; free speech in campaigns as in the 1st Amend; spending under control, the IRS abolished, and the enemy wiped out. Hint: (A real leader does not require a political adviser on the payroll. He needs to be smarter at politics than anybody he can hire.)
