I think that one of the flaws [or fallacies] of our current system is that we are electing an individual; it seems to me that the Republican party would be much much better served by crafting a solid platform that will secure the support of a winning majority, and then identifying and promoting an electable candidate that is committed to implementing this platform, as part [leader] of a team. Eliminate, over a period of two years, the Departments of Education and Energy, as well as the EPA, bit by bit, allowing ANY company so inclined to bid on maintaining specific services of those Departments. If there is a true need, there will be true consumer money behind it; if it is a government sump, it will become evident. Money follows value.Abandon government funding for alternative energy sources- if there is sufficient interest, there will be sufficient money. If alternative energy were financially/economically viable, you couldn't stop the flood of investment capital that would hit the system. Repeal Obamacare, and return the healthcare decision to the individual through a free market enterprise.The time for depending on personal charm and charisma as predictors of success are behind us, and looking for a pretty face or gift of gab, is what got us into this mess. Platform FIRST, candidate committed top secure it-- and start with the Constitution, repeal of the 16th Amendment, and establishing 9-9-9 as the fundamental economic engine behind this platform.
