David Todd McCarty, thoughtful article raising excellent questions.

Above all, we need good leadership. That can be from a performer like Zelensky, who couldn't be more perfect for the time.

Other great performers have also made awful leaders. Take Boris Johnson in the UK, where credibility and management skills were sorely lacking, taking the country to a very uncertain future.

Great leaders pick and position the right talent for their team with disastrous consequences if this is done poorly. Biden's pick of Harris as his VP was a lost opportunity.

The celebrity candidate is often in the popularist mold, which has dangers.

Many thanks.
