He is not a good candidate he will do whatever he thinks will garner support...

I might just be really jaded, but that's exactly what I want. A key thing being that they aren't doing it for the owner class. I want them to look at what the average person is actually asking for and do that. I don't care if they actually like it.

Edit: to be clear, I don't like this man. If you can't tell, the "... that they aren't doing it for the owner class" part rules him out. An almost perfect candidate, in my opinion, would be one who listens to the people exclusively. This would mean they support progressive policies, and they change with the times. Isn't that what we want?

Yeah, that's where it falls apart.
