Who can win then? Because the majority of the choices we currently have are stiffs that are destined for defeat.
I agree absolutely with everything you say, and I have no answers as yet. Seems many of us are looking for somebody to ride in on that mythical white horse.
There are no perfect candidates, and I know whoever I eventually back will not agree with me on everything. Moreover, no President can foresee what challenges his term will endure. Therefore, character, courage, and conservative values, and a respect for the Constitution are more important to me than talking points on issues.
Experience and administrative experience matter, too, with a track record of doing, not just saying. Therefore, I want to hear from those who have lived under Pawlenty and Daniels before I make my mind up about them. They both seem to be authentic and effective, but I’m watching from afar.
Our field is too thin.
