First question, Your candidate is an atheist, how are you going to convince the religious population he isn’t the anti-Christ?

I would introduce a whole new concept to all of congress . Its called accountability. Meaning if a congress critter introduces a bill that is clearly against the constitution, that critter gets prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Breaking the oath of office as a starter, followed by whatever will stick. Bill would be voted on by congress individually. Everyone would know exactly who was responsible for what bill etc. I bet that those leaches would fall in line pretty snappy and do their job or quit and try and find employment in the private sector. And like in any real job, if ya don't show up for work, ya get fired without benefits.
Until that happens, they will just carry on running the country into the ground and filing their own pockets in the process.

If Sheepdog1 sees this, he will give a very succinct and effective answer...and it would work.

Amazing how this thread brings out all that ails this country. Not done yet either I would guess. How about lowering the amount of lawyers about 75%?

I would do away with cash bail, defund police, buy all major media outlets, send money/resources to other fledgling countries, amass countless investigations on my opponents, have my family be paid by other countries...oh wait!

I would mobilize the military to stop drugs from crossing into the country. It can be done.

Drugs don't cross into the country without people transporting them. Why not just enforce the border and prevent the illegals from crossing?

I don't know that there is anyway to unify the country Hobbie.

We threw morality, integrity, ethics, citizenship, classical American culture, work ethic, and basic human biology out the door. There are somethings that cannot be reconciled with.

I think to truly govern and unite a majority of the people a leader must be humble, as transparent as possible, able to acknowledge and learn from personal mistakes /faults, recognize that no one is perfect. That same leader needs to seek input from all people regardless of party through elected representatives and make sound decisions that reflect the people's choices while not impinging on their constitutional rights or to advance their party agenda. That's the kind of president I would like to think I would be if I was elected. Some times you must rise above the fray and put your own personal desires and biases aside to achieve goals greater than yourself.

Sounds good, but politicians care about little except themselves.

That could work if the populous had ideals, but unfortunately all you'd do is fit in with the status quo. Our problem isn't our leader(s), our problem is ALL OF US!

I don't feel the government should waste manpower and tax dollars protecting people from themselves. If that was a proper role ethanol and tobacco would need banned. Processed food and soda pop. People should be forced to exorcise and obesity made a crime.

The border patrol is good at what they do. Just need to untie their hands and quit releasing every non Mexican they catch.

Back to uniting it aint possible. To many people believe provide for the general welfare means take from those who earn and give it to those who won't. Guns in the hands of every day people is dangerous. People who dont buy into that philosophy never will and vice versa.

Identity. Where do people seek their identity? It's a driving force in topics like this.

Are they rallied around an identity of being Americans?
Are they united in an identity of something else?
Find a common identity that people rally around and.... you find the answer to your Q HT.

Blessings,
Mark

First gonna bring back actual comedy, blazing saddles cheech and Chong , Dave Chappelle is gonna be like the vice president or something. Gonna give Alex Jones his own little death squad and probably have jo Rogan doing something. Public execution of career politicians . Mandatory financial education in school must be a class you have to pass. See if we can get a deal with mexico to trade them one or two of their hard working hands for every one of our dead beats. Just legalize weed already . O and give everyone $300 one time for reparations or whatever. Eveyone white black Italian Russian whatever you get 300 bones and clean slate. O and I guess take over some country in God forsaken-stan so we have some cheap oil . O and get on TV and say stuff that makes EVEYONE upset common enemy and all that.
