WHO WILL BELL THE CAT?
A Presidential Candidate Rating Process
By
Jay B. Gaskill
Every open presidential election – that’s every one with two non-incumbent candidates – represents a watershed. Sometimes the outcome makes only a marginal difference in world history, and at other times the outcome is critical. Many wonder whether we are at one of those pivotal junctures in world history, moments of particular consequence like the immediate aftermath of World War II, when events could easily have sheered off in a vastly different direction.
This is one of those times.
Yes, like every previous election, we have two candidates-in-the-making who are … imperfect. Recall that Lincoln, FDR, Truman and Reagan were imperfect candidates for POTUS when they first ran for office and even afterwards. All the presidential candidates were. This is not a good time to “sit this one out”.
I invite you to apply the rating criteria to the two Senators who are campaigning to lead the US. Try to set aside partisan leanings and just see where the results lead.
