Why Ms. Clinton should be President of the US

Today, on a talk show, Mr. Axelrod, formerly with the Obama group, made the important point that Mr. Trump, running for President on the Republican ticket, has given no indication that he has the attitudinal wherewithal to live up to the duties of the office.  In this regard, he shares the lack of temperament with a Texas millionaire, also from the business world, who had declared his candidacy for that high position in the 1990s.  Be it noted, that this individual sort of folded in the final stages of his attempt.

Excuses by Republican analysts for Trump's lack and his "loaded canon" demeanor during the campaign so far amount to an admission of Trump's current failure with an addendum that once Trump becomes President he will act presidential and forsake his childish ways.  After all, these pundits point out, if you knew and talked with Trump face-to-face, you'd know what a kitty-cat he really is!  He's not that bad!, we are assured.  And, more significantly, he'll solve the employment problem in the US by whatever means he deems right and necessary, so they tell us.

But there's more involved in his attitudinal posture than simply a "fools go in where angels fear to tread" affront. But you can't see it if you concentrate on what Trump says and does.  Consider his opponent, Hilary Clinton in contrast to his antics.  What does she bring to her candidacy?  Just like a race horse has a biological breeding, so does a Presidential candidate have a demeanor and stature that comes from associations and current commitments wrought over years of training and experience.  And in this respect she comes from notable experiences wrought over the decades of her public dedication to government service.

For one thing, her husband is Bill Clinton, who as President of the US established a decade of prosperity in  the country, despite his personal idiosyncrasies (which he shares with countless other politicians!).  For another, as Secretary of State, she interacted with international leaders and established herself as one among them.  But most important of all, she has come into her own under President Obama's tutelage, so to become an advocate for universal health care for US citizens and, critically, a dynamic force for human equality among all peoples. In other words, she has joined the movement towards globalization, a movement dating back to the Renaissance but is sweeping the world scene today in trade and commerce.

She emanates the spirit of peace through the quality shown in her endeavors and displays to every citizen a governmental concern for each's own well-being.  It would be an honor to call her my President.
