Worked for Reagan, and Clinton probably actually understands the current talking point. Leadership is overrated. Give me executives that just keep the trains running and let the thinking happen further down the hierarchy any day.Because she doesn't actually believe in anything. She just follows whatever the latest talking point is. And that's not leadership. That's the Secretary of State role, not the President.
True. But if Reagan actually had empathetic human beings pulling his strings, rather than sociopaths, he might have had a positive effect. He was a charismatic leader. A good figurehead. He just needed better policies. Hillary is neither charismatic, nor a leader. And I have little faith that she'd choose anybody for her cabinet that had not held an executive position at Goldman Sachs.
The hierarchy the President is on top of is the executive branch. These guys. They all have all the problems that come with being a large organization, plus patronage positions and, in the case of regulators, having to hire from the industry they're regulating because that's where the knowledge is, but for the most part they all know what they're doing and do it as well as they can within the constraints of being large organizations. They do not benefit from more leadership; like all large organizations, they could do with far fewer leaders.
