What qualities should we look for in the next President??

[UTUSN]

15. The maximum quality (good choice of words, as opposed to qualification) is ability to WIN

It's been SO sweet over most of my life to sniff about so many of my NOBLE losers, what might have been if only this paragon had won. Finally, I've had to face the reality of this system, that ONLY winning will work, even if the winner is not my or anybody's ideal it's a matter of 1) just about any Dem is better than any Rethug, and 2) even a mediocre Dem will have an impact on who knows what policy decision besides the thousands of nominations, especially the courts, that will shape decades to come.


A subset implied in the above: Somebody with the common touch. Somebody who can relate to ordinary people and vice versa. Somebody with the basic skills of a carnival barker. Somebody who cuts the b.s. and talks some smack. Somebody who can project a sense of fairness to most people, not to niches.
