About Presidential Politics

Hitting the  road to gain a political party's nomination for president calls for a lot of guts and money.Concerning the latter it goes without saying that meager campaign funds are a guarantee that the candidate will end up as small potatoes. Even with a large war chest, a candidate is vulnerable. His ability to separate the wheat from the chaff goes a long way in the process of separating the men from the boys

Of course if one is running for the GOP nomination all bets are off concerning the foregoing. A bombastic style, an ego that doesn't quit, the ability to distort history and a command of cliches go to the top of the list for nomination clinchers.
