To get to the meat of the matter, I will come right to the point, and take note of the fact that the heart of the issue in the final analysis escapes me.
Pat Paulsen, former presidential candidate

If he were alive today, which he seems not to be, he could have my vote. Maybe.

Can’t beat a politician who gets straight to the point by running around in circles, and pausing at each the perceived four corners to introduce other aspects of what might be considered irrelevant facts.

There are a lot of things about politicians that escape me.
But yes he maybe could, perhaps have my vote as well.

Maybe we can start a campaign for him, and urge people to write him in on their ballots. Or at least encourage it. Or perhaps suggest. Or maybe apologize for bringing it up.

A politician’s greatest skill is the ability to speak charismatically for hours, saying little of consequence and nothing that they can be held to.

Seems to be so. They’re experts at keeping their feet out of their mouth. But in the process there’s no meat in their words. They’re just big nothing-burgers.

Politicians (in general) simply piss me off with their shallow rhetoric.

Paulsen would certainly be appropriately geriatric, as well as incoherent for a contemporary presidential candidate. And is still being alive even a qualification anymore? All those dead voters in Florida need representation too.

Given that our current president seems to be brain dead, I think Paulsen would be no worse as president. Might even be better.
