Look, when you hire someone as the CEO, do you want a guy that will just give nice talks, make promises, then work behind the scenes to steal from the company and put it in further debt?
Or do you hire a guy that talks a tough line, vows to take action against those stealing from the company, and vows to work diligently to make the company stronger and make the company number 1?
We're electing a president, not appointing a Pope. I want a guy that can do the job.
Trump read my mind on that subject. My husband and I were discussing who we wanted Trump to pick as VP. We talked about the pros and cons of each, whether they’d bring more votes, what their ideology is, their age, etc. Finally I said to my husband, “None of that matters, what matters is do we want them as
president.”
The very next day I get this text from Trump saying his number one criteria for choosing his VP is that they should be ready to assume the office of the presidency.
Anyhow, related to what you’re saying, we need those same qualities in the VP choice too. Leadership qualities require backbone, a willingness to do unpopular things, a dedication to protecting what they’re leading, not undermine it.
