Why not this, a politician that states his views while at the same time states what his economical policies and views are, and morals are concerning that abortion should be left up to states, that gay marriage or any other matter concerning should be left to the states to enact or reject, and that the main function of government should and would be their priority to protect and defend the United States and its citizens from all enemies. Whose philosophy of promoting the general welfare of this country allow the opportunity to pursue happiness and in the process to acquire wealth that can be passed to their heirs without taxation.
Possibly someone that also states that he was not necessarily running for his position to be popular but to do what was right and for the country as a whole. Someone who will admit that while like the rest of us while imperfect, strives for it and wishes the best for all the country and not just a few. That has an upbeat attitude and thinks that all can do better if they attempt it and can even poke fun at themselves while jabbing the opponent with a little zinger (kind of like Ronald Reagan).
That is what we need again. A real leader that did what he thought was right and stood up and told the world “General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
