    Substance is often used by the public as an insight into character.

    Study Obama and not the BS emails you get.

    If you look at Clinton, there is neither character or substance.

    You are right. BUT...the swiftboating tactics that have become common obscure what we should be asking - can this person govern in an adult way and do what is best for the country and the people.

    Never mind about their preacher buddies or their experience, who would you want to be, say your High School principal, your local mayor, your bank manager.

    Who do you think shows maturity (not in age), who communicates, who has big ideas, who can inspire the next generation to make America great again. Who can mend fences with the rest of the world?

    Consider all those things before you rush to judgement.

    If the public wanted substance, Ron Paul would have clinched the GOP nomination long ago.

    I'm beginning to believe the public just wants easy entertainment, and unfortunately the rest of us will have to live with their low standards.
