I've sometimes wondered if being president of the United States is worth the headache. Unimaginable stress. Nowhere near the compensation deserved. Half the country hates your stinkin' guts. Half the world hates your stinkin' guts. On call 24/7. Your descisions will lead to people being killed. Privacy, what's that? Armed men escort you to the potty and stand within a few feet as you take a leak with standing orders to pick up up and carry you to a place of safety in the event of an emergency even if you're not finished. Same is true if you're in the shower or playing doctor with your wife (or husband.)
I've tried to put myself in the shoes of a presidential candidate to figure out why they would want the job. What do you thinK?
All the above except money.
If you're gunning for that, stick to the private sector. I think Underwood talked about that in House of Cards lol.
Anyway, depends on the person, but I think duty is a factor in most runs for the presidency.
actually people like the Gores and the clintons made far more as a result of public office than they ever would have without that.
*****. They do it for the *****.
The money may not be the greatest during the years you're in, but that changes when you get out! Ask Bubba! He gets more for an hour, than Obama gets a year!All the above except money.

In that case, tell me. Is Hillary doing it for Bill or herself?
true, when you are a billionaire you get plenty. I don't know who is more a power hungry whore=Trump or Hillary but I suspect its Hillary. Trump's main goal in life seemed to be mega-rich. everything Hillary has done is about power

I think Trump is running because he was bored.
in some cases, like GHWB-a sense of duty. Same with IKE, same with HHH and probably McGovern too, Dole as well.
for some-because they were told they should do it-JFK, W.
for some-massive egos Nixon, Carter, Clinton Obama, Trump and HIllery
You get to be above the law.
Look at Shrillary. Can't be bad, and it hasn't even won yet.
All the above except money.

WANTING to be President... should immediately disqualify you for the job.
Best thing we could do is find someone highly qualified who doesn't want the job, and only reluctantly agrees to take it when their sense of duty and patriotism is appealed to.
Power tends to attract the corrupt.
