Building a Policitican

Two more characteristics for the ideal presidential candidate.

Knows the difference between principles and compromise; knows when to hold em and when to fold em. I think that in that position you have to give on some principles and standards that are important to you, in favor of keeping the other side and their constituency engaged. Better still that you can convince them to do it your way, but we don't have a lot of people with that eloquence and charisma, these days.

Reads. A lot.
