I took a temporary sabbatical and stepped away. However, after watching the recent debacle of a debate, I felt compelled to return, not to address this in a politically correct manner but because it is necessary. I am now back and typing faster than ever.

Let's get back to the topic:

WOW! Did you watch the debate and experience a headache from both candidates? Did your eyes begin to bugle? Did you feel your heart beat faster at certain points? Did you experience secondhand embarrassment every time either candidate spoke? If yes, please continue to read and name who we, the people, should select for President and Vice President since these candidates and respective running mates cannot lead. This is America; we are better than this. There are intelligent and capable people who could potentially help move this country to new heights. How can we genuinely evolve as a country if we stick to what we have always done? Our leaders must inspire and move us as a people and a country domestically and globally. Unfortunately, watching the debate, I see that neither Trump nor Biden is the solution at this pivotal time. However, we hope to find a leader to bring about the positive change we need. I am not trying to be cynical or controversial. 

I love being an American. I may not always agree with what someone says, but I will defend their freedom of speech. I am not trying to change the course of history. However, I am simply observing that we need a strong leader who is capable and willing to guide us as a country. A leader that is capable of making the difficult decisions. A leader willing to listen to the truth no matter how difficult. A leader who wants America to be the best in the world through education, healthcare, and modernization of the country, to name a few. A leader who does not care whether they received your support will step up to represent the American people. A leader that is country over party.

A leader is selected for the people by the people. Your voice matters in this decision. I am not sure if what I saw or heard represents candidate former President Donald Trump or current President Joseph Biden. We as a country need to become no longer viewed as an idea nor an experiment but as a foundational table and seat that upholds democracy.
