First Woman, First Black, First Latino, or First Honest President?

Tragically, Americans have become used to lying politicians.  Can our democracy survive when most people believe that an honest president is both impossible and unnecessary?

Of course, honesty by itself is no guarantee that someone will be a great president.  Nor is it by itself sufficient reason to vote for someone.  But imagine if we insisted that it be a necessary, minimum requirement for supporting politicians.

In the end, without honesty, every reason we use to vote for someone is a joke.  Delusional thinking about candidates has produced our delusional democracy.  Time to stop voting for liars.  Better to not vote at all.  Voting for liars only encourages more lies.
