Smart, articulate, knowledgeable on foreign matters... why can't we Americans have someone like this on our ballot?
We have 340 million people, a political cycle that runs for two years and costs billions of dollars, yet still produces choices that are unappetizing, unsavory or downright awful.

Stubb speaks with more fluency and coherence in his second language than Trump does in his first.
