a diplomat, which our POTUS must be.
That is the question that I had wished was asked of every candidate. How are you going to correct our standing at home and with allies abroad? How are you going to clean up this mess? Will you face it head on? Or just launch a speech?
This is one of the things that must be addressed on day one. I do not want any candidate to return immediately to the bully pulpit/ campaign trail to sell their ideas. There are many wrongs that need to be corrected for us to be a safe nation.

Forget looking for a cure. LOCK THEM UP. You see a pattern here? I do.
