Do you want a nice, genteel president that gets nothing of what you want done or an A-hole who at least tries?

Well said. 

Always take the guy who tries.

Those are the only two choices?  I want someone who has a personality that commands respect from everyone around him.  Someone rational and reasonable who is more interested in uniting this country, isn't promoting his party's agenda first, and will fight for what the majority of the citizens want.  I know it's an impossibility but, if you could find one of those lying around, I would very much appreciate it. 

Harry took my answer. 

Nothing is usually the best thing a government can do, and they usually should have done it a lot sooner.

In the end, what's the difference? Nothing gets done, as usual. 

the 2nd one sounds better
