A man from Illinois was running for president. His opponents ridiculed him as inexperienced and woefully unprepared. His only governmental experience had been serving in the Illinois state legislature, plus two years as an obscure member of Congress. He had never held an executive or management position of any kind. Yet, this man was elected president of the United States - twice.
His name was Abraham Lincoln. And they said he was unprepared.*
It's easy to dismiss someone by belittling them. However, I do not believe that is a winning or noble strategy. I hope you don't either. I encourage you (and myself) to stop listening to the soundbites and the talking heads that pontificate about the future of our country like sportscasters before the Super Bowl.
Let's actually research the candidates ourselves. Ignore the stump speeches and talking points - look into the candidates detailed plans for America.
It's all online:
