Some candidate things I think are important to consider: Listen to the words and positions of the candidates over time and look for patterns, consistency and alignment with actions. Do they do what they say they will do? If so, are they saying things we agree with? Are they saying things we don't agree with? Are they saying one thing and doing another? Or changing constantly and cannot be trusted? Are they willing to admit mistakes and refine their positions as things change? Do they work well with others? Are they willing to find middle ground in difficult situations for the common good? Are they focused on the betterment of us or of just themself? How much do we know about them, their decisions and process of making them? Do they act unilaterally or seek knowledgeable council before deciding? Who is against them and why? Who supports them and why? A great leader cares about others more than their own self. Has the candidate shown to a be caring and compassionate yet firm and focused. How do they deal with losing? Are they gracious in tough times like we want our sports teams to be (except tennis) or do they have a temper tantrum and seek irrational vengeance even if it hurts the people supporting them? Are they a person of integrity? Do they pay their bills? Do they accept responsibility for mistakes or try and blame others? Do they treat other with respect, even if they don't like them or their positions? Just as most of us are doing right here on this FB feed. Or do they start name calling and insulting like the few people I have unfriended? Will they listen to reason and logic? Can they understand complex issues that may have dire results if missteps are taken? Do they listen carefully and intently to get the whole story before responding? Do they learn from mistakes or live in an illusion that they are above error? The answers to these questions reveals many of the aspects I look for or avoid in a leader, an employee, a friend and highlights what I personally strive for, for president I look to see whom will offer the highest probability of a desirable future for me, you, our families and all of us in this country and the world. Try asking these questions about Obama, Trump, Bush Hillary, or any political leader, try Kim Jong-un, and see who most closely parallels, try Sadam Huessien or Hitler. Look for parallels between past and present great and horrific leaders versus what is on our table right now to determine which choice is more likely to have a positive result or horrible tragedy. And regardless of whom you vote for, be willing to live with any outcomes you supported.
