I honestly think if he pulled his big-boy pants on, and decided to just say, “Screw all of you congressmen and senators, and pundits, and political reprters, I’m gonna do what I want and what I think is best”, he might well move way up in the polls again. People want to feel safe and secure, and they want someone who acts like a strong, decisive leader.[/quote]
I think he is strong (you can’t go through a prez campaign and NOT be strong), I just think he is someone who thinks long and hard about things and doesn’t show his emotions. I can identify with that, as I am often that way too.
But there are times when a leader must be a cheerleader. He’s got to go out there and get people excited. He’s got to take chances (as you imply). And he’s got to get excited himself once in a while. People like to see someone with fire in their belly and a twinkle in their eye.
Besides liking what she said, that is what I really liked in the Elizabeth Warren video attached to this thread.
