Question

What is the most important characteristic about a candidate for the presidency that a voter should consider?

Answer 1

Excellent question!  I know the answer.  The cadidate must have a vision for the country.  Analyze which cadidate has the most well formed vision for their country, this will tell you who has the drive and energy and zeal to do what ever it takes to better America.

Some candidates express how they will solve this problem or that problem.  Some candidates focus on blaming the other political party and they talk in vague abstractions.  But in other candidate's as you hear them about their opinions on various issues you see that they have a vision for how America can be, and look into their faces to see if they believe in that vision.  What is that vision?  What is their message with respect to the various issues?  Do they have the confidence to get the job done?  Can we see the Candidate's confidence and vision.

The Candidate with the confidence and vision for America is our next President.

There are candidates who are cocky, they don't have a vision.

There are candidates who seem frustrated, they don't have confidence.

I think there is an old saying from the Bible I believe: "without a vision, the people perish" (paraphrasing).

May be we don't believe in the war, but we need to believe in something to bring this country together again.
