Only the better fortunate get to run or try to be president. The rule is what be 35 years or older. So there are so much out of touch with the demographic they actually need to win and guide into the upcoming years.

It's almost hilarious that our nation has the rule of separation of church and state. Yet too many things in our laws seems to be focused on them.
Most people will vote for a specific candidate BECAUSE of their religious beliefs. Like a church will fully back someone. Romney had that with the Mormon church, Obama with many urban churches (I live in Detroit and it was crazy the support they gave him) so on and so forth. I think it's okay and good to say that someone of your own religion (or denomination) must be a good person. Sometimes it's the case where that person is a better person because of religion...sometimes it isn't. But yeah, in the USA, it's a huge issue. Half of our political issues aren't even political anymore...they're religious with politicians tackling them to appeal to their demographic.
