Carville famously said, 'it's the economy, stupid." He had a minor point. The truth, which 98% of folks incredibly miss is that you vote for the party--not the man. The man reflects the party. The man is the tip of the spear for the philosophy represented by the party. Republican Presidents, 98% of the time, do Republican things..Democrat presidents, 98% of the time, do Democratic things. Democrat's, clearly are the part of big government. Republicans, are clearly the party of free enterprise and capitalism. The "personalities" of the Presidents are of practically little or no concern when he/she is steering the ship of state. The great majority of politicians, pundits, authors, celebrities are hopelessly egotistical and are wedded to power as a means of controlling policy and people. So----if you believe in free enterprise, federalism, an original interpretation of the constitution, a strong military, minimum taxes, the second amendment, religious freedom, legal immigration, an insistence upon free speech, an insistence on law and order, you are a Republican., You therefore vote for thge republican candidate even if the candidate has three heads, seven legs and six eyes and tweets all day. He will do "republican things" 98% of the time.
If you are a Democrat, tge same is true. If Charlie Manson is the democratic candidate, he will do Democrat things 98% of the time. That is why talk of the "personalities of the candidates is so silly and totally misses the mark. Figure out which political philosophy you ascribe to, and vote accordingly.
