What it takes to govern

In the pluralistic democracy, that is the United States of America; the President must unite partisan forces into cohesive action that is the result of collaboration and building a consensus. A candidate, such as Donald Trump has divided his political party, and the segment of the population that still follows him is aligned with bigotry and misogyny. How can Trump lead and manage under these circumstances? The answer is that he cannot.

A candidate such as Hillary Clinton has devoted a lifetime to public service. As a professional politician, she has had to compromise many times. When she chose to work behind the scenes, being less that transparent, it didn't work. She learned from that experience to become an effective US Senator and federal government executive as Secretary of State.

Nothing is easy in federal governance. Experience matters because the system is complex. Where Donald Trump scammed the tax code and developed property that includes many failed casinos, Hillary Clinton worked for the common good. That is the difference.

Hillary Clinton has flaws, but Donald Trump's character deficiencies delve into hate and mean-spirit, greed and exploitation that is beyond forgiveness. He is most unfit.
