4. Domepiece? What does that word mean?

Actually, a willingness and even an eagerness to run is important. Not everyone can be drafted into running for President. Most people would simply say no to that job. It's a thankless and brutalizing position. I imagine that most Governors, House members and Senators would say, "No, thanks" to a run for President.

So, I care what potential candidates want. I want an enthusiastic candidate who knows what he or she wants to do as President and who can communicate that to voters. I don't want a candidate who has any reluctance to run.

Oh FFS. People just want to converse. So what? n/t leftstreet Feb 2017 #1
