I stumbled across this video this morning and was really taken by it. I’m not in the habit of hero-worship anymore, like in my younger days, but Steve Schmidt says this so well (as usual) that I felt it was worthy of an OP here on DisPol.
So, if you have 7-8 minutes to spare (the video is really quite captivating, but you only need to see the first half to get the gist), I think it’s well worth the view.
Some important points that were made:
- Leadership is a character test
- It should be tempered with a sense of idealism
- The candidate must be fearless about losing
- They must believe in something
- Leadership cannot be ceded to the craziest elements of a society
who should be institutionalized
- A leader must be honest, including telling people about inconvenient truths

After viewing, here are the questions:
Q1: Do you disagree with any of Steve’s comments?
Q2: What would you add to Steve’s comments?
Q3: Do you believe there are any potential POTUS prospects
that meet the requirements that Steve sees as necessary? If yes, who would that be?
Thanks for chiming in.
