Which is why I have to face palm when people look at a candidate like Palin or Trump and say "Oh he speaks his mind! We should vote for him!" Because I don't want a president who says the first thing that comes to their mind. I don't want a president who makes decisions based on their guts.

The reason why Trump has been successful is not simply because he speaks his mind, but because most politicians around him look like puppets. They talk like an advertising group, playing to the base and pandering and using empty words. While Trump can be rash and ridiculous, he almost always sounds like the things he is saying belong to him, not some PR group with focus testing data. However, he is still ridiculous and seems like he would struggle to play anything politically with any tact whatsoever.

What I've seen from Bernie Sanders looks similarly like a guy who is authentic and adheres to his beliefs, although his ideas are less radical and he seems to better be able to handle things without flying off the handle...
