(2,611 posts)We absolutely will need a FIGHTER not an appeaser that wants to "heal" the nation. Healing should be a byproduct of our next Administration not the goal. That's how we end up with Garlands and uncommitted voters 2 weeks out from election day. We need decisive clear goals, hate them or love them.
Which is why I have previously suggested we need a very active Vice President. We need 2 leaders because the mess that's been made can not be fixed by 1 person. We need 2 with the authority to do 2 separate jobs.
One to repair the damage as much and as quickly as possible in the first 18 months because campaigning starts soon after so Dems need something to campaign on.
And, two, to hold the criminals accountable via investigations, exploring new laws with clearly written penalties. No Felon should ever be allowed to hold Federal office again, investigations of known crooked justices with impeachment as the end goal.
Personality needs not matter. We're not electing the person to have a beer with. The hell with likeability. We need efficiency, a pit bull. Really, really consider their qualifications not their looks, not their gender. No apologists need apply unless it's to our allies.
