The Black Lives Matter movement is a leaderless movement that is in a "family" of hot American issues that, collectively, endanger our nation. We need a leader to lead us out of this minefield, a leader worthy of a monument in 50 years for what they do in the next 5.I no longer think that the current presidential candidates’ gutter politics this cycle are leading us, but rather reflecting us. But, they’re not helping. That said, we need – I’m saying NEED here – a leader, a truly inspiring generational leader to get us out of this mess. We need a person worthy of a monument in DC 50 years from now. This cocktail of problems our nation is facing is not a place for a leaderless movement such as the Occupy Movement, the Tea Party movement, or Black Lives Matter. Immigration, That should be our standard for a president, not simply “good” relative to the other candidate. [#black lives matter]We are facing many dividing influences in each of our worlds. So many that we must collectively do triage on them all in order to do the most good. We all have the list as we see it. We all have the lists that affect our lives the most. We should. But, there are those that you have selected to make decisions for the states and for the country that must create lists for those states and for the country. I believe that a presidents list should look like this and I will commit all of the resources of my administration to accomplishing this reformative list with the fervor of JFK’s desire to put a man on the moon.[#black lives matter]Let us each look deep within ourselves, deep within this society that we have been given and continue to build. We find deeply disturbing problems. That’s okay. We can fix them. E Pluribus Unum. The motto of the United States. Out of many one.[#black lives matter]Obviously one of the key elements of this fix is to fix the way we choose leaders so that we Idea: add “no confidence” to the ballot. If a candidate can’t prove their greatness to at least 51 percent of the people above the other candidate AND a “none of the above” candidate/option…they don’t deserve the highest office in the land.Ironically, the candidates run to satisfy the minimum standards presented. Make a “confidence” vote one of the measures and they will target that and – go figure – hit it. They could, but we are not asking them to. So, they don’t shoot for that. We lose for no good reason.The electoral process is designed to make an unknown, a strong voice with strong ideas, able to compete and win. The system is designed to find this person.

What is Bernie Sanders hoping for? What does a win look like for him?
