Pretty much, and it worked perfectly for him. He spent a few years in legislature, made extra sure to stay faaaar away from any controversial vote. Then parlayed that into becoming president. Then he inacted a lot of unpopular legislation... I mean, hey it can only get you so far. |
I prefer people who rule a country and decide what's best for it not to be politicians. Why? Because for someone to be a politician they had to actively desire and want that power. I highly, HIGHLY doubt even 5% of the people in washington actually give a shit about the population, they jsut care about their own personal selves. If they cared about the general safety, lobbyism would have been outlawed decades ago.
The best people who are in power are the ones who don't give a damn whether they were in power or not, they won't have their judgements clouded by money and power in any way and maybe that will help them pass better legislation that is actually in the interest of people.
