Most of the time I think you'd have to be insane to want to be president not to mention a complete ego maniac which explains why the vast majority of our presidents are such failures but then I think of what I would do if I was pres and I think I would be a good one. Thing is I would never want the job, it would destroy my life really and I just wouldn't make the sacrifice. What about you?
IMV, Reagan was the last that truly sought the office on conviction of principles to better the nation. Since then, it's been a circus of those desiring to make the country in their own political mold...
no. if i had the chance, i would consider running for representative or senator, and i'd stay there.
additionally, **** no.
Work for 4 years and collect a 6 figure a year pension for the rest of my life?
Um...hell yes?

Since I'm not an attention whore, being President sounds very like the antechamber of Hell. SecService guards for life, media attention for life, you can Never again just be yourself... bleh.
Not to mention having to live with making hundreds of decisions that have profound effects on people's lives, and not infrequently cost dozens, or hundreds, or thousands of lives...
I'd really rather not. It's something I'd only accept very grudgingly if at all, if I felt it was my duty to serve and that no one else could save the nation from disaster... and even then, I'd resent having to do it.
Surely the nation mourns the loss of what might have been.Not a chance. Even if I thought there was a potential to win, I've essentially given up on voting as a means to change this nation. The Office of the President is worth no more than the VP.... A bucket of warm piss. The system is so broken That it would be a worthless undertaking.
Same here. And I may actually do that.

Honestly, I couldn't handle the downright hateful things people would inevitably say. I'm totally okay with criticism of my policies or beliefs, but people make it personal and I'd lose my ****.
So repair it. No, it's not beyond that.Not a chance. Even if I thought there was a potential to win, I've essentially given up on voting as a means to change this nation.
