Let’s move beyond media-driven negativity and remember the wise words of George MacDonald: “To be trusted is a higher compliment than to be loved.” In voting, we’re not looking for a candidate we’d want to hang out with on the weekend. We’re looking for leaders we can trust based on their values—not their personalities or public personas shaped by others. Knowing a leader’s true values gives us the confidence to trust them, no matter what anyone else says.

And there always comes a time when you've gone too far, and the only thing left to sell is your livelihood, life, or soul.
