As a solid independent, I worry about every character flaw or health concern for any candidate: lack of honesty, lack of empathy, decreased mental acuity, an aversion to taking responsibility, an unwillingness or inability to work for the greater good, personality disorders, etc. just to name a few. No matter who the candidate is.
Do you remember when, on September 7, 1988, in a speech to the American Legion, George H.W. Bush said "Today is Pearl Harbor Day..."? Was this just a slip of the tongue? Evidence of declining mental acuity? Something else? Who really knows. He was Vice-President at the time and running for President, with the election two months away. He won that election, so I guess a lot of people were willing to overlook the historical error for whatever reason. There is no such thing as a perfect person, so there will never be a perfect president. The question is, how much imperfection are we willing to allow in someone who is entrusted with great power and great responsibility?
