You would think America, with all it's resources, and technological capability, would elect better and better people. It would be like the slam dunk contest. You would have your mind blown by how awesome each candidates, and you would assume no better could ever be found. Then bam! Next election, even better people!
Nope. Our political choices at this point, when they speak I hear the bottoms of barrels being scraped. Sooner or later, splinters are going to be nominated for president....
The problem is that the most important job for the President is to represent America. That means they have to be a very good speaker and debater. It might sound weird, but we arent really looking for the smartest dude in Washington, or the strongest, richest, well liked, etc. We are looking for the person that best represents us to the world.
Their whole job is speaking, speaking, speaking, photo, photo, speaking, speaking, shake hands, visit Putang Putin to slap him in the face, then back to speaking, speaking, wave to cameras, now more speaking, more speaking.
Which ever candidate speaks the best, wins. Its why we have them fight each other with speeches so much. Obama is an excellent speaker and a great debater. But his wing man though, Joe Biden, this man is the real debater. He takes heads off people. He destroyed Palin and that Ryan dude. So bad, no one will even talk about it. When Biden gives speeches, people cry cause he has such emotion in them. Problem with Biden though...he dont make that good of a President cause hes too emotional.
Hillary is an excellent speaker. Shes strong in her speeches and she dont let emotions get to her, like Obama. She also picked a very nice helper. And guess what he excels at? Emotional speeches and debating. His job is to rip heads off.
Its not easy finding people good at the job. Its why its a very long process and requires a bunch of money to gain public appeal.
