We are a republic, not a democracy. Every state has a duly elected head of state. Every state can encourage mask wearing from the top down. The President is not meant to be, nor can be, a model of behavior for every citizen. The President has a limited, specified duty. Being a robotic, one size fits all model of proper politically correct behavior would be unbelievable and a target of ridicule as hypocrisy for political enemies.
He should be a model of constitutional correctness, not political correctness. As should all politicians. Very, very, few seem to be able to fill those shoes. If this election were to be on that basis, we would have a little more justifiable clarity on which to decide. But not much.
So much for personalities. On the other hand, there is a wide discrepancy between the direction of the parties. An honest discussion of that would be infinitely more important in informing how to vote.
