Candidate 1 - has things in his past that are both bad and good and has a positive direction forward for the country that will re-empower the citizens and the knowledge and experience to enact his agenda.
Candidate 2 - no known moral complications in his past that have been widely reported, is celebrated as a great speaker, has a divisive agenda catering to fear and sense of helplessness of the citizens and proposes more government control as a solution.
Which one do you vote for??
I’d vote for one.
Just as an aside, I have skeletons in my closet, grinning skeletons.
Who I was in my past isn’t who I am now, I am very far from perfect.
