Operator

The biggest job of a president is to sell America a vision of itself and what it can be.

Bernie is a weird salesman. He doesn’t ingratiate. He’s grumpy and short with people who try to get him to talk about shit that doesn’t matter. He’s no baby kisser. But, he is relentless and consistent. He’s been saying the same thing in the same way for at least 30 years.

And, what he’s selling is a vision of America that most people want: a prosperous America that everyone is encouraged to participate in.

Hillary is not a sales…person. She’s an operator. She would never be given the job of CEO. But, any CEO in their right mind would want her as COO. COOs ensure that shit gets done.

It’s not the job of a president (or CEO) to get things done. Their job is to clear the way and make it possible for the operators to do their job.

I don’t know why Hillary wants to be president. She should know she’s not that kind of person. My guess is that she sees the presidency as the ultimate achievement and, as a super-achiever, she sees it as the ultimate goal of anyone with ambition.

Sanders may not be the best CEO type we’ve ever seen, but he sure has a good vision to sell.
