re: #216 retired cynic

Sorry to be late responding; I’m way behind the night crew!

Yes! I voted for Obama and for Hillary because I trusted them to do the right thing, not because I read every word of their policy papers (because I didn’t). It is a good thing that they develop their policies, so they are ready to go if chosen, but that’s not the main reason why I voted for them.

I need to see a balance of the two. Grand ideas without any plan/means to accomplish them is… Bernie. All talk, no ability to make ideas into realistic policy. I gotta see that ability. Likewise I need to see good planners who are also good executives, able to inspire support and, again, make ideas into realistic policy with follow through.
