(60,406 posts)Sure, he'd make some procedural mistakes in the beginning and step on a few of the wrong toes but look at Trump with higher age and less experience (not to mention candlepower, maturity and sanity).
I think that his position on cannabis can evolve. I REFUSE to be a one-issue voter if the issue is something on which he can get with the trend with a little enlightenment and consultation with experts.
Yes, he's white and wealthy. I also refuse to make this any more qualifying or disqualifying than black and poor. What kind of an idiot would I have to be to say no just because of one or the other? What I care about are things like foreign policy, the economy, the environment, health care improvement, education, social issues, and all that other stuff a sitting president has to deal with. I'd also appreciate it if he would be the first presidential aspirant named Kennedy who did NOT get himself shot while campaigning or in office! With all the right wing maniacs out there these days, that's not a given.
