Political Commentary: The run for the White House in a nutshell: No matter who runs, it is a fallible human that will take the seat. I believe that most people genuinely want to do the best they can. What must not be overlooked when examining any election is once in the oval office, the ultimate outcome of things related to the president are usually as follows:
- President has a "plan" (Idea, concept for change, reform, etc.) Named "Plan A".
- Plan A goes to the House of Representatives and is voted down, or re-written.
- Plan A then goes to the Senate as (Plan A rep1). It is summarily executed, or edited again and become "Plan A sen1" and then goes back to the President.
- The President has to then veto his own Plan, or let if fly with the changes to not look like a blundering idiot before the people, because he voted down his own Plan, even though it was hacked to death twice before it his his desk again. The people only hear, President vetoes Plan A. (Not 'Plan A rep1', or 'Plan A sen1')
Try to do good in one hand. Have too much money in their faces to always do what's right by those that need it most in the other... The human equation...
"I want to help you, so I must stay in office until I can (it does take time), but that requires massive amounts of money to get reelected and then I'm indebted to the people that gave it to me; to... not help you..." This is why money needs to be taken out of politics. Anyone that has to raise millions of dollars to win and then to keep their job 4 years latter, isn't being elected on their ability to do the job. They are being elected on their ability to tell you how much better than anyone else (especially that person over there) they can do the job. I am positive i have glossed over many, many, many, many intricate details, on purpose, to illustrate; just because he has a plan, doesn't ever mean he CAN make it happen. Sadly, opposed to doing what is right and just by their people, representatives in the opposition will try to torpedo every bit of legislation that comes out of the White House. I applaud any representative that sticks to their guns and isn't afraid to go across party lines and vote for what would be best (in their opinion) for their constituents. I applaud them even if I disagree.
The lines are blurry on who is for what and why. It is intentionally so. When this is the case, usually the populace will just not think about it and vote with their party affiliation, regardless of benefit or detriment to themselves. Others will find the issue that is their match head and vote for whoever has the best talking point to that cause. This has become the nature of the best, and I hope that this may open your minds to a little fact finding and strolling across party aisles to see what all the hubbub is. More importantly, before you judge the man in the chairs job by the promises he didn't keep, check to see how he did at trying to make them happen. I bet you'd be surprised.
Personally, I lean to "none of the above". ~Andy Cowen
