True Believers

    Weekend days are light, newswise. That partly depends on politics and whether candidates are active in seeking office. Otherwise, crime takes the headlines. 

   This weekend was typical of election year, but only because of candidate activity. The difference is in their behavior and that of their followers.

   Or should I say, "true believers." 

   This year borders on  near religious devotion to their favored candidate. 

   That's not really unusual. Politics is religious in that way. Followers believe so strongly in their leader that they accept everything the leaders says without doubt or question.

   But there comes a time when people must decide on whom they prefer as a leader. That's when potential leaders must show their abilities to voters.

   The problem then becomes whether voters are willing to accept a political candidate as a government leader. This is where salesmanship comes in.

   So which would you rather have, a salesman of a politician? How about both in one? Or perhaps neither of the above?

   Or a lawyer.

   Or a candidate who is all of the above.
