I really have no business on this thread as I have no expertise or solution to the problem. It just seems that we passively ‘wait’ for candidates to self-select. That leaves the field to narcissists, power-seekers, professional, local, State and Federal politicians.
Our universities are not producing conservative leaders - the military establishment appears to be the only default sanctum having any potential for leaders with ethics, integrity and patriotic purpose i.e. sovereignty. But that military background has not been infallible. i.e. Colin Powell, Wesley Clark, John McCain, and don’t even go John Kerry, Jack Murtha.
We have created the ultimate Hollywood, TV casting mentality for the most important role on Earth and it ain’t working. Candidates don’t just show up like June bugs.
Somewhere in this vast land there’s the perfect POTUS, a marine veteran, on a farm in Kentucky, deacon in his church, with common sense and love of country, running for County supervisor. He’ll have to spend the next 20-30 years graduating from State Senator to Governor. We don’t have that long. Is he in the building?
I beg to differ. Your comments that follow this sentence prove that you're wrong this once.

A brilliant and deep observation.

You're absolutely correct. I personally believe that many of our next few generations of GOOD leaders are going to come from the ranks of those who are serving now in our Armed Forces. The job that our men and women have done in Iraq and Afghanistan is stellar - perhaps unmatched by any others who have served throughout our history.

Again, a brilliant observation.

There's one man that I believe to be more qualified than any other to be the next President of the United States. He has a deeper understanding of this republic and its founding principles than anyone else alive today.
He's the greatest communicator in America today. No one speaks with more power, passion and eloquence in defense of what conservatives believe than he.
He was an important member of Ronald Reagan's national security and foreign policy team that ultimately brought down the Soviet Union.
He's been an educator and a government reformer.
He's been a radio and television commentator. He knows how to deal with the media.
He earned a PhD in government from Harvard.
For decades, he has been a consistent and courageous champion for the God-given, unalienable rights to life, liberty and private property, and has the actual political scars to prove it.
Things he said a decade ago or more show him to be a visionary. What he said then is as timely now as it was then.
This great man's name is in my tagline.
He's the one we should draft if we care about saving this country for our posterity.
