Has a presidential candidate (challenger or incumbent) ever campaigned for the office without providing the voters with an idea of what they would do if elected?
As we approach the November election, only the challenger has articulated a sense of how he would govern. You may not agree with that agenda but its existence is proven by the attacks being made against it by the incumbent and his supporters.
Conversely, the incumbent has failed to offer the voters any idea of what would guide him in his second term and this is proven each time he is asked to tell us about this agenda. Invariably, his responses amount to “More of the same.”
For some, this is an elixir. For others it’s a guarantee that our society will continue to be debased at the expense of our democracy. If “We the people” vote, the incumbent loses.

Note from KBJ: The voters want more of the same, Charles. More greatness.
