| Look, I've gotta tell these wingnuts something they want to hear. I can't just tell them I'm cutting taxes on war profiteers and sending their jobs overseas while I send their children back to the Middle East.

One of the most critical qualities of any president is judgment. Therefore, every candidate seeking this high office must clearly possess sound judgment. This includes the ability to perceive facts correctly and assess situations accurately. This quality is absolutely essential.
Now of course candidates will disagree over issues and will indeed offer differing approaches to solving problems. This is perfectly fine and healthy as reasonable minds can reasonably differ.
But basic judgment is a very different matter. It is not fine for any candidate to be unable to accurately perceive and assess fundamental aspects of a situation. If a person fails to perceive the basic reality of a situation, then this person cannot possibly choose a wise course of action to fit the situation and thus is doomed from the start to make very serious mistakes.
