If you do not live in a free country and do not understand the self-healing workings of capitalism, you could easily mistake counterfeit leadership for the real thing.  To recognize what one has never seen requires willingness to seek answers beyond humanness and get information that contradicts what you are seeing and weigh the odds.  The light can dawn.

However, in the United States of America for over 200 years, capitalism, though tossed about and chipped away at, still thrives.  Genuine leadership to keep it thriving would NOT:

• make decisions quickly and with little thought for long-term consequences.
• make policy decisions based on personal grudges.
• seek to tear down the government it has sworn to uphold.
• mask religious bias that creates fallacious policy.
• make up answers to sound right that are in fact “empty statements” to pander to the under-informed.
• bankrupt private enterprise to pay back political capital.
• stop bankruptcies or offer taxpayer bailouts to prevent the ebb and flow of a self-healing capitalistic system.
• defame his/her own country to other nations.

We have seen the genuine leadership: Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan.  We can know the difference and vote to it.
