for a spouse or a president? Don't trust any politician. They are people who are successful at winning popularity contests. Vote for the person you judge as having the best chance, of the people in the race, of governing in the way you think the country should be governed. Don't expect any of them to come anywhere near the way you would want things done, but some will come closer than others some of the time.
