IMHO... the POTUS is truly a figurehead. I have no problem with the most charismatic '28 candidate running

Let's face it.

The POTUS is the pitch man, they're the spokesperson.

Flo isn't writing my insurance policy or cutting me a check for my fender bender... everyone loves Flo!!

Anyone can be POTUS with a competent staff, strong Chief of Staff and advisors.

So I'm fine with Clooney or Tom Hanks running in '28

I think Tom Hanks might win 40 States.

The problem with our side... we want to present the best candidate for the job without realizing that 99% of the job is the power of persuasion and communication.

The bureaucrats are the ones who keep the country together. The President just signs the paperwork.
