Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Crying baby irritates Bernie Sanders. [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)219. I know!
The person I support for POTUS will be someone who knows how to act in public... who knows how to treat people with kindness and understanding and sympathy... who understands that when dealing with some of life's unexpected and irritating moments, the BEST thing you can do is smile and accept it with grace and humility. I want a POTUS who has the demeanor and temperament to NOT lose his (or her) temper and wag his (or her) finger at someone.
These things are important.
If I were to vote in a presidential
