Hillary or Bernie -- how much does it matter?

4. It would matter quite a bit on at least one front

Given that 50% of a president's time is spent on foreign policy issues and international relations, we have a stark contrast here. Someone who has met with and negotiated with scores of foreign leaders and diplomats, and who maintains a cool, professional demeanor. Or an angry guy who yells a lot and constantly wags his finger scoldingly, and is neither really interested in foreign policy nor very schooled in it. Can you imagine him meeting with the G-10 leaders, much less holding a state dinner or sitting in a tense discussion with, say, the Chinese premiere?

Personally, I don't think I could stand 4 years of someone shouting and scolding in the tv set on any level, much less picture them conducting our diplomatic relations with other nations.

It's a personality thing. And frankly, it matters. At least to me. And quite possibly to our country.
