“Run someone that has no history of politics, but a proven, and successful work ethic.”
It would be very hard for somebody who had little or no experience as a politician to run. It would be like taking a champion swimmer and then running him in a track and field event. (Yes, I believe that has worked, but it’s notable because it works so rarely.) Politics is a dirty game. When (not if) the opposition hits below the belt you not only have to take it, you have to dish it out while appearing not to. Politics is as much acting as it is business. (Or, in the case of most Democrats, it’s all acting.)
Several years ago I backed an independent businessman for the US House. He was conservative and successful in business. But he came apart when attacked and fought back with no finesse. Despite reasonable funding, a dedicated staff of volunteers and a credible effort, he got less than 4% of the vote. You could really see the difference between his style, or lack of it, as the candidates interacted towards the end of the race. Too bad, I really liked the guy and he’d have made a fine representative.
1.) Announce your running.
2.) Get all your dirty laundry out there in the wind. Nothing that anyone could possibly use against you.
3.) Be honest about everything, except for the obvious.
4.) Win.
People like accountability. America is craving for it. I think a good honest campaign is what the country leads. Throw a little bit of charm, modesty, and wisdom to listen to GOOD VETTED, and PATRIOTIC POLITICAL ADVISORS. It’s all it would take. Make sure everyone hears your voice, non stop tour around the country, even the towns in districts that don’t matter. Show what a real leader looks like, and the country will follow.
All we see are weak kneed career politicians.
