I can tell you a skill our next Democratic president is going to need to have

[Takket]

They are REALLY going to need eloquence and the ability to rally people to service. The government has been gutted of career professionals willing to serve their country and replaced by utter incompetence.

It is going to be a hard sell to convince people to come back and restore the institutions that made us world leaders. I can't speak for everyone but if my life were upended, and I had to go out and get a job in the private sector, I would be pretty hard pressed to return to Federal work when I know 4 years later the next stooge this country elects can just fire everyone again.

We need a "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" to try and rebuild what has been lost, along with a promise to create some sort of legislation to protect Federal workers in the future from termination without (legitimate) cause.
