What you're asking for is a benevolent dictatorship.
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.
