Do you know anyone, meaning a fair minded, decent human being that cares about the real issues that affect our lives (jobs, income equality, benefits) that would volunteer to be a lifelong politician? Just think about it. Let the concept roll around in your acquired, voluminous data that you house in your inner brain, and then determine if you know some one foolish enough to pursue a career in American politics?
I don't know a soul. Not one. One might ask, why not?
Well, there was this guy who decided to run for president in 1987. This guy was, for all intents and purposes, was probably and probably still is a pretty decent guy. He is a family man, a husband and a father. He had grand dreams for America's future and I guess the worst thing that you can say about the man today is that he is and was a progressive liberal.
