The Presidency demands informed and reasoned judgment on a wide and changing range of timely issues, currently more than 40 by my count. Shockingly few Americans have been exposed to academic leadership courses at any level, making it difficult for them to identify...
What does it say about leadership attributes when the incumbent Vice President-hoping-to-become-President elects to adopt and promote policy positions of her challenger previously derided as “extreme”?Is it any wonder that the public is wondering why party defections...
Our democratic republic is designed for and depends on the existence of multiple political viewpoints on an ever-present list of pressing issues. In present extraordinary circumstances, we must ask if the past four years of uninspired caretaker governance are leading...

Can palliatives like “I want to be the President of all Americans” be a substitute for platform substance? Are we witnessing the embarrassing current irrelevance of a storied political party that utterly failed to anticipate credible generational succession?Even after...
Amid the buzz about one presidential candidate’s irresistible campaign barbs and the other’s reticence to speak publicly, the underlying judgmental concern should be their respective political resumes.The challenger can point to a record of prior accomplishment in the...
The Super Bowl of politics is nearly at hand.What are the odds that an untested rookie quarterback can maintain and motivate an offense accustomed to being led by a veteran predecessor unexpectedly sidelined by health issues?Can the former playbook remain...
