What type of President do we need at this time?

[democrank]

17. This might sound crazy, but I'd like our next president to have some "street cred"

Someone with a certain down-home eloquence who can relate to people outside the beltway

Someone who knows the difference between compromise and selling out

Someone who has actually been inside a boarded-up factory or a school with falling ceiling
tiles

Someone who values diplomacy in foreign affairs

Someone who will walk the streets of Chicago or Flint and talk about outside-the-box
solutions.....and then DO SOMETHING

Someone who has concrete plans formulated to combat drug addiction, homelessness, poverty, outrageously high student loan debts

Someone who is dedicated to helping our veterans, including those with PTSD

Someone who is absolutely committed to civil rights, economic and social justice

Someone committed to ending voter suppression, overhauling our Foster Parent program

Someone with solid public works/infrastructure ideas

Someone who advocates saving things, like: our planet, money, our democratic ideals

Someone who doesn't need a political consultant to decide what he/she should stand for

Someone who would speak nationally about mentoring, volunteering, sacrificing

Someone who prefers honest conversation over talking points

Someone who puts country over party
