I went in with Chris Christie being my favorite candidate. He did okay in that he didn't standout to me, overall. He only stood out to me in his boldness on attacking Trump. But of course, there are more issues, like on the economy, social issues, and foreign policy.
But if my initial threshold is that I can only support candidates who are independently wealthy . . .
Yeah, definitely need to see more of his plan before deciding. I think we need an outsider as opposed to a typical or experienced politician. He at least checks that box off, more than any other current candidate.
I urge you to be an optimist. For example, the American middle class has shrunk a lot less than many people seem to think.
That's good to consider. I wouldn't say that having Washington experience or having an insider is always a bad thing. Of course, it's a good thing to have someone that already understands the job and has worked in the field already. But with that experience also comes all of the bad baggage, which is all of the exposure to the political games and hyperpartisanship. I question if people who have had made a career out of doing that type of business are willing to give it up.
Plus, you’ve probably accepted campaign contributions from the very industries you’re supposed to be regulating. In fact, these are probably some of your biggest donors.
