Can't say why, specifically. Maybe it's just pride in our system. It worries me to no end who is running but who wins doesn't because - and here's where I get flaky - there is something about the office of the Presidency that seems to make it's holders better.

Yeah, I stand by my principles and I'll fight for them but I won't subscribe to conspiracy theories and other nonsense when opposing him.
