Someone asked me how our country could end up with Hillary and Trump. This after telling me how awful it was Trump said things about women (and I noted those things were said in private). Why would anyone with better things to do want to submit themselves to running for a political office?<br /><br />At a recent college reunion, I learned that a friend's wife ran for her local school board. During the race, her opponent accused her of having an affair. No evidence (because there was none) was ever provided. The notion was just put out there; and people that claimed to know her actually asked her if it was true. When she denied, they seriously asked, well why would her opposition make the claim? This was just for a school board position. She won, but she lost a lot of people she used to think of friends, because they thought she was unfaithful and she realized they were real idiots.<br /><br />We got Trump and Hillary, because it takes a certain ego to run for President. The sort of ego that thinks doing what you want, regardless of what others think, is acceptable. Doing what you think needs to be done, regardless of what others think, is essential. People with that type of ego don't always do what you think they should, act how you would want them to act, or get done what needs to be done. That leaves a simple equation; which one is likely to do more to help me get done what I want or need done. Rowe is right; I want and need real change in DC, and Trump is most likely to make that happen.Lelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531159384688653131noreply@blogger.com
