The candidate we really need...

Will be a lawyer with knowledge of constitutional law. The candidate needs to call for an American version of South Africa's truth and reconciliation hearings-I mean we need open public trials into every serious allegation of wrongdoing whether by democrat or republican and every criminal conviction needs to be given time in prison. Citizens United has proven that money as speech violates the equal protection clause and must be revoked. Politicians who double their personal wealth every 5 years must go to jail-it cannot be done honestly and democrats must cry as loudly against democratic misbehavior as we do against the same behavior by republicans-that is how you show the parties are not the same. We don't need Oprah and celebrity-we need gravitas, integrity, and truth.
