America needs a talented leader for the first time in a long time. Which candidate is up to the challenge?

Talented. Emergent. Plodding. Intelligent. Intuitive. I'll settle for almost any kind of leader at this point. "Leading from behind" has all but emasculated the US. I just hope we can survive another year of it. Did you notice the headlines of this morning (11/16) "Obama releases 5 more terrorists from Gitmo as Paris Grieves". "No US boots on the ground in Syria" inasmuch as our current strategy only needs a little "tweaking" to contain ISIS. Dear God, save us all... And as states begin closing their borders to refugees, I know with complete certainty that the governor of my state, Jerry Brown, will open California to accept them all

Sgt James Howard Honestly? I wish Colin Powell would come out of retirement.

ill take a good person over a seasoned politician. Advisors play a huge part in the Presidents decision making process but a puppet pres will simply be a tool for their party. A good person can weigh the advice and make a conscientious decision. The last good person in the Democratic party is Jimmy Carter.....not a great president but a good person. There are no good people left in the Democratic party (politician wise). The republicans have a few and Ben Carson is one of them imo. I would like to see a pres who actually adheres to their oath to protect the constitution instead of step all over it like our current one.
