Gotta admit ...

I know what to expect - speeches long on promises, short on details of how they are to be fulfilled. Mostly meaningless. What I want to see are some true debates. Something where each candidate has something thrown at him that he doesn't expect. I want to see how each handles himself when that happens. But I probably won't see that. The "debates" they have these days are so regulated as to content that the candidates never see anything unexpected. More's the pity, because the President must show the ability to be quick-thinking and decisive in a crisis. I'm not sure I see that in either of these gentlemen. TJ In the absence of missiles heading our way, I'd prefer a president who thinks a bit before doing something, the exact opposite of what we have now. Notice I said "quick-thinking." That means I want him to ALWAYS think before he acts - even when missiles are heading our way. However, I don't want him thinking so much that he takes too long to act, either. And no matter WHO gets elected, we won't have who we have now. No candidate is a clone of a previous president, despite what campaigners might say. TJ |
