    I would because I have seen an example of a leader that has none of those qualities and how the lack of those qualities can effect a nation. Cheers!

    No, that's not enough. Someone can have all those qualities and still be a terrible leader.

    Principles matter more than people's feelings. All political decisions hurt people. It's impossible to avoid doing harm. Leadership is volunteering to shoulder the moral responsibility of that. It is impossible to be sensitive to everyone's feelings. Some people have unjust feelings and they should be ignored.

    Leadership is about upholding both compassion and justice. Overemphasis on compassion is a device used by those who wish to subvert justice. This post was edited by Zeitgeist at April 16, 2018 11:37 AM MDT

    It's good to know at least one person realizes the type of leader it is necessary to elect in order to assure the preservation of our democratic republic.

      No one like that has ever been a candidate, except in a dream world.
