Note I am not the original commenter and am rudely butting in, because internet:
1) "To each their own" doesn't work when we're talking about politicians, because only one of them gets to be elected leader. Arguing might make you uncomfortable, but you have to do it.
2) It's possible to be unimpressed by all current candidates, and to believe that our current political process does not filter for good leadership qualities.
3) I'm actually impressed by Pope Francis, despite - or perhaps because of - the distaste I hold for Catholicism and organised religion in general. There's a man who has colored strictly within the lines as far as his job description is concerned, yet has done a great deal to lead by example and improve the moral stature of his office.
