Most of our candidates will "tell it like it is."
Some will even do it with great passion.

Problem is that they won't be heard by the majority of the American public, because the "truth" will be discredited by presumptions of a partisan agenda.

That's the power of propaganda.

Our greatest truth-tellers are regarded as losers and kooks.
Carter, Mondale ("We'll have to raise your taxes"), McGovern...

Look at the great Jerry Brown, brilliant political innovator who launched both a campaign and a movement against special interests (see 1992 and the "We the People" campaign and organization). How seriously was/is he taken now. I hope that someone chooses him as VP, but I suspect that won't happen, because he has been so "discredited."
