Republican Potential Presidential Nominee

 

In order to make the big decisions, leaders must be knowledgeable and it helps if they are also intelligent. The present crop of Republican presidential hopefuls is not knowledgeable and their words and actions cause people to doubt their intelligence. The Republican Party owes the American people creditable nominees. Those vying for the Republican nomination are an embarrassment.

How did it happen that the Republican Party became so inadequate, so miserable and pathetic? I can't help wondering whether my generation, the generation dubbed by Tom Brokaw as The Greatest Generation, neglected to participate adequately in government in favor of chasing the "American Dream". Plato said, "One of the penalties for refusing to participate in Politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors". Those of us of this greatest generation, Republicans and Democrats alike, must bear a large amount of blame for the present superficiality of our political leaders. We let it happen!
