It's hard to know how someone would do the job until they are actually in office.
I would like to see someone who is conservative and a businessman look for the job, even Trump (who I like) is not the fiscal conservative he could be. He was a member of the Democratic Party for years. For example a Howard Schultz who likes freedom, second amendment rights, fiscal conservative, knows how to run a successful multi national corporation (which the US is in reality, only with guns), won't pander to the left and other critics and countries. Rush can talk a good game but he has had some substance abuse issues in the past, he is really successful but not at running a huge corporation and would be even more polarizing than Trump.
Yes, Rush had some problems when he lost his hearing. I'm sure that would be very difficult to overcome as a radio personality.
Everything you said was true, I don't hold anything against Rush, I just think the country needs to be run like any other large corporation. As far as cutting spending and cutting the size of government, good luck finding anyone to do that, I would be happy as a pig in **** if they just didn't spend more next year than this year. I also just described my perfect candidate, I am not sure that person exists. I am willing to take the job, though, if we can get 60 million or so more people to help.
As long as they continue to use baseline budgeting as a political talking point the government will continue to grow. I agree with your thoughts.
I remember Rush's substance abuse problem was because of a bad back. He got hooked on pain killers from the back injury and got himself help. If he ran, I'd vote for him in a minute. He'd make minced meat out of his detractors. He's been an honorable guy and often talks about the way he was taught growing up and he's definitely well versed in the political environment of this country.
I didn't know that. I knew he lost his hearing about that time and I assumed that was the reason. Back pain does make sense as a problem where you could end up addicted to pain killers. I'd vote for him too.
Didn't say I wouldn't vote for him especially after considering who I would be voting against (think Hillary), but I was describing my ideal candidate. Previous drug use is no longer a reason for disqualifying, Kamala Harris not only admitted to it but said she enjoyed it, and was somehow magically transported 5 years into the future to listen to Snoop Dogg while high.
