Abstract, I think the country and the current system of politics has yielded exactly what it deserves...mediocre leadership. Right now the system can't tolerate a leader. Can you imagine the press going after a Roosevelt, a Jefferson, or a Kennedy while they were in office...with the current overdose of media. It's not clear to me that men or woman who have the capability to lead are willing to put up with all this crap and run for office. You need brains, emotional toughness, compassion, the ability to hire great people and a circumspect view of the world to be successful in this job. Whoever wins, they are going to need the country's help and support. Dumbing down the presidency is dangerous in the the long run. Having said all this, I am thankful I can vote without anyone taking a shot at me or take any shit from bigots. I had number of friends in the Army who were killed; they won't be voting on Tuesday.....this always humbles me and I am reminded of what a democracy is all about at its core. Altair19
