Here is my assessment if I were interviewing them for a job in the business world.
Trump: Strong leadership skills. Can get things done, but can I trust that he will get the right things done? He undoubtedly strongly loves the USA. So with reservation, I will offer him the job based on that element of his character. Strong fighter who unabashed love of the USA, I will rely on.
Cruz: I can trust Cruz to do the right things, but would he be effective in a leadership roll or will he simply alienate everyone he has to work with? Does he love his political theories or the USA more?
Rubio: Good at sales but not leadership material. He is a born follower, not a leader. Too unprincipled to be an effective leader. Too easily lead by others.
The Dems?
Clinton, arrogantly corrupt, recklessly incompetent, shameless sense of entitlement. Obviously loathes everything that make she USA exceptional. Would find a reason to terminate her employment asap.
Sanders: Rigid ideologue. Incapable of Leadership on any level due to his blind worship of his failed political dogmas. Live is a bubble world where theory trumps reality.
O’Malley: Pretty boy empty suit. Cannot figure out how he got hired for anything in the 1st place.
The rest? Good men and women but not anywhere near Presidential level.
——Does he love his political theories or the USA more?-—
or like many Freepers, after wearing out his shoulder joint patting himself on the back will he just sit at home contemplating his navel and lesser evils
