Monday Musings

Who in the world would want to be President of the United States? Anyone reading a newspaper or  watching news can observe we face enormous difficulties.  Yet we have more than a dozen Republican candidates who are racing around the country giving speeches, standing on debate stages, answering questions, dealing with campaign budgets, addressing town hall meetings, giving television interviews and sleeping on airplanes.

Senator Tim Scott is hosting Presidential Town Hall
meetings across South Carolina. 

What drives the candidates to vie for a position where they will face endless demands, legislative challenges, and opposition from outside and within their own party?  There is something unique about women and men who possess qualifications and the appetite to enter this political arena.  

Last Wednesday, November 11, I attended a Presidential Town Hall meeting at the Sonesta Resort in South Carolina. I heard about the Town Hall event in an exercise class Monday morning. 

On Tuesday evening, Gov. Kasich was on the Republican debate stage in Wisconsin. After the debate, he met with his campaign staff and prepared for his trip to South Carolina. After this Town Hall, he will fly to New Hampshire. Later in the week, he will fly to Florida.

This is just a taste of the schedule of every candidate. What a grueling campaign life.
Pray for the candidates.

“ I want to tell you ladies and gentleman, the actions we took were not always easy. The actions we took were not always popular. But when you get yourself in public office, your must lead, you must do what’s necessary.”
Gov. John Kasich
