    Which is part of the problem. This whole expectation that our leaders should hide their true feelings and motivations behind a veil of niceties only serves their goals of hiding such things from the people trying to figure out who to vote for. We should know who our politicians are as actual people, since it’s the person they are in private that will motivate their actions within the government, not the nice face they put on for the public.

      As I understand it, that is a large part of Trump’s success with certain groups.

      Admittedly, that turns off people who don’t agree with what you’re saying…
