Winners and losers
The primaries continue to run their course in finding a GOP candidate. The most interesting aspect for me isn’t the process but the at large thinking. It would seem that the candidate’s qualities, ethics, and experience aren’t the most important factors. The final selection will be made on one question. Who has the best chance to defeat Obama? I remember a movie called “the Candidate” starring Robert Redford as a man working hard to be elected. He wins the election. The question he asks after winning, “Now what?” It might just be me, but I’d prefer that the people elected know “what” before being elected. I also would prefer elected officials who carry ethics, qualities of character and experience. But, like everything else, it’s not how you play the game but it comes down to whether you win or lose. In the pursuit something gets lost, it just may be the people who elect those “winners”.
