Then you qualify to run for president.
The field on both sides are kind of sad. Interesting to hear this morning on Morning Joe about President Obama being more of a centrist in policy and action. The commentator thought that was why there is great interest in both Trump and Sanders. I like some of Senator Sanders ideas, but don't quite go to far left with him. Free college? College has turned into to big of a business in my opinion, but if they would lower student loan rates to maybe 1% and maybe helped subsidized some of the cost to hold tuition down, might be helpful. I don't agree with all the different taxes he would implement to pay for some of his ideas, or I should say, I haven't quite done the math. A payroll tax for healthcare? I need to compare it to what I pay for insurance now.
Secretary Clinton seems to be the closest to President Obama especially in foreign policy and how to handle it. Saw Secretary Gates on Meet the Press and without naming names, he is not a fan of the heavy handed policies of "carpet bombing" rhetoric coming from the right. I think Secretary Gates would make a very good candidate for president. I just worry that Secretary Clinton has too much baggage and is too polarizing as well.
I try to give some of the more moderate Republican candidates a try, like Governor Christie, but he seems to thin skinned and combative, maybe Governor Kasich?
