Not exactly.
What I ask for is someone who present his ideas and sticks to them.
Let us pick which person goes to the White House.
I don't want someone I voted for to change his views and the direction of the country just because the public changed its mind. That's not the person I voted for.
If the president should do what the majority wants and never have an idea, then why bother having a president? Grab any guy off the street and tell him what we want. Let's have the polesters run the nation.
