The second thing is, we have to elect someone who is not just going to talk about all of the things are going to do but actually go out there and get it done. Do the job. Two of our leading candidates today never held public office. Part of the reason is republicans, americans are fed up with politicians. Im going to do this, im going to do that, but nothing seems to change.
