I agree but the mindset now is not how good this person is but how bad the other one is. No one looks at the heart and soul of a person running for office anymore like they did in Garfield’s days. Most men are running for personal reasons, prestige and power instead of looking for ways to serve the country, it is not about serving anymore but an elevation of power for themselves. Men seem desperate for power, they thrive on it.
Politics is a murky cesspool of ambiguity. That it took Wilberforce years to abolish slavery in Britain is testament to that. But it is what it is. We must aim at the hearts of men to die to themselves and raise their eyes above. Leadership demands self-sacrifice, not self-adulation.

Sadly, it takes a bit of courage to share such thoughts. Thanks for doing it!
Excellent! Sorry I just got around to reading it.
