Our nation is, mostly, appalled at the two choices we now have remaining, yet no one acted against it when there were almost 10 different Republicans and Democrats who were running. For us to change that leader ideal, we will first have to change ourselves.Kaite Berry H1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-32285693178253828022016-10-04T21:12:41.298-05:002016-10-04T21:12:41.298-05:00(H3) I believe there is so much more to a leader t...(H3) I believe there is so much more to a leader than what Machiavelli believed.

A leader's responsibility is to do what is needed to reach the goals that are in the best interest of the people he is leading A Leader should never focus on their own personal goals.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08481648456899098506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-7052324067369728992016-10-04T11:29:32.274-05:002016-10-04T11:29:32.274-05:00although it might be ethically right to denounce M...although it might be ethically right to denounce Machiavelli's views perhaps the fact that both of the main political candidates might lead one to understand that his view was the best way to get ahead in politics.

Perhaps current events right here in America will one day be viewed as one of the greatest modern examples of Machiavelli's legacy.
