Discussion thread for the "Polls only" thread (Part 2)

You’re denying the hypothetical.

I chose to vote for Jim.

Just because I like Bob’s policies better doesn’t mean they are better—because I am very fallible, and because in the real world policies affect different people in different ways and have all sorts of side effects. I think a person like Jim would be more likely to listen to expert opinions and diverse viewpoints and adjust his policies if warranted.

And I believe the job of presidenting involves more than just enacting policies. For some of those presidential duties (such as representing America to itself and to the rest of the world), character and integrity matter.
