Anybody Watching the Last Trainwreck/ Presidential Debate Tonight?

[Thumpalumpacus]

The POTUS can have influence, but neither of these idiots have the leadership capabilities to affect change.

And what of followership? The willingness to suborn one's own goals to the greater good is part of teamwork too, and yet we have a Congress that refuses to consider Supreme Court nominees in defiance of their own appointed duty, because they are more concerned with the next election than the next generation.

Play it safe, CYA, toe the party line -- those infections afflict not only Presidential candidates, but legislators as well.

Our nation is a case-study in the troubles brought on by refusal to compromise, or a refusal to accept a derogated role. "Too many chefs spoil the broth", right?

Leadership requires followership, and vice-versa. That is teamwork: knowing your place on the team, and doing your best at your job. Sadly, we Americans seem to be lacking on both counts.
