I don't know if hope is something I need from a candidate. Hope is one of the things that certainly keeps the human race chugging along against all odds, but hope is no predicator of outcome.
When buying a car I can hope I made the right purchase, I certainly do not want the dealer telling me to have hope I've made the right choice.
I do not want the presidential candidate of hope, I want the candidate of getting the fukkin job done while aligning as closely as possible to my perception of the nations priorities.
Candidate of Change? All of the candidates are running for the highest LEADERSHIP position in the world. If they're not running to change things what the hell are they running for? The question is what the fuk they want to change and how are they going to change it.
I really do not understand elections. Couldn't we just simplify things and have the candidates butt heads like rams do in order choose leaders?
