What future presidential candidate can unify the US?
For 2020, I don't see how anyone could accomplish “uniting the U.S.” Politics here are almost completely polarized, with each side accusing the other of bad faith, treason, insanity, and of hating the country. What person could possibly unite a group that wants to stop global warming with a group that denies global warming is occurring? Or unite people who want more open borders eith people who want a wall to keep people out?If it could be done, President Obama was an excellent candidate as a uniter. His personality is conciliatory and his politics are centrist. His most noted achievement, the ACA, was originally a Republican alternative to single payer! And yet full 40% or more of the country actually believed him to be some combination of socialist, Muslim, Kenyan, communist, terrorist sympathizer, and/or the Antichrist. If he couldn't unite this country, I don't see anyone else doing so in the foreseeable future.
Who was the first American president to visit India?
Dwight D EisenhowerAdditional relevant text to escape autocollapse:American presidents started travelling while in office only in the 20th century. Teddy Roosevelt was the first President to travel abroad while in office in 1906. So earlier American presidents definitely did not travel to pre-independent India.Eisenhower became the first US president to visit India. Between 9-Dec-1959 to 14-Dec-1959, he visited New Delhi and Agra, met India's PM Jawaharlal Nehru and President Rajendra Prasad, and addressed Parliament.In 1959, Dwight D. Eisenhower was the first US President to visit India to strengthen the staggering ties between the two nations. He was so supportive that the New York Times remarked, "It did not seem to matter much whether Nehru had actually requested or been given a guarantee that the US would help India to meet further Chinese Communist aggression. What mattered was the obvious strengthening of Indian-American friendship to a point where no such guarantee was necessary."Later, Nixon visited India in 1969 for a single day and met Acting President Mohammad Hidayatullah. I can't imagine anything much was discussed except pleasantries. Height of the Cold War, and the East Pakistan situation must have been looming.Jimmy Carter dropped by in 1978, met with President Neelam Sanjiva Reddy and Prime Minister Morarji Desai and addressed Parliament of India. They probably gave a wide berth to Indira, and later ignored us over the 80s and 90s.Over 30 years later, Clinton showed up in 2000 after Pokhran and tried to get us to allay their fears of nuclear disaster. He was here for almost a week.George Bush came in 2006 for a couple of days.Obama has been here twice, in 2010 and 2015, and has had much more cultural interaction with us than his predecessors. He went beyond the Taj Mahal, and visited Humayun's Tomb and Raj Ghat, and chewed gum through the entirety of the 2015 Republic Day.

Do you think it was a wise political move for nixon to visit communist china and th soviet union?
Nixon helped to open up the Chinese markets for American interests. So it was the greatest thing he did.
What American women should get their pictures on U.S. paper currency?
I would nominate two women from U.S. history:Senator Margaret Chase Smith (former Republican Senator from Maine) - she is best known today for her "Declaration of Conscience," a speech on the Senate floor in which she stood up to Senator Joe McCarthy's communist witch hunt, today considered the beginning of his political downfall.Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman U.S. Supreme Court Justice.There is a petition on Change.org, a petition website, where people can both nominate particular women to appear on U.S. currency and ask the Treasury Secretary to place a woman on a bill. It's here: Treasury Secretary Jack Lew: Include Women From American History on U.S. Paper Currency
How can we save the Chinese people from Communist rule and help make their country a democracy?
In my experience, the overwhelming majority of Chinese, educated and not, do not want democracy. What they want is transparency. They want to know that their government is accountable for following through on the promises they make the people, and that corrupt politicians, libelists, scammers, and crooks will be held accountable and jailed.And to those living in the States or Europe and feel that Democracy is the answer to all of these problems, please take a minute to critically consider your own country and whether or not politics are truly transparent.SOMETHING TO CONSIDER:Most Chinese do not want democracy. Most individuals advocate for changes within their system, not changes of their system. In many ways China’s totalitarianism (not to be read as dictatorship, because they are very different) is more effective than our system. In many ways it is not. Their is no “Mega system” that will fix all the world’s problems, and if there were, it certainly would not be democracy.If we want to help the Chinese people, first we must help ourselves understand them. Learn how Chinese think, feel, and aspire. Learn these things not as an outsider looking in, but as an insider looking around; what I mean by this is to drop your preconceptions and actually interact with some Chinese. Ask how they feel, don’t tell them. Learn how they think, don’t try to change them. Understand what their aspirations are, don’t try to direct them. Then maybe we can help ourselves and them simultaneously by learning the merits of both sides, and the downsides.This is my opinion anyway. I hope this helps!Best wishes!
What makes a good president.?
Kennedy would have been the cats *** if he had lived . That guy spent all our money on us . There was glamor and gold walking around. now it trash and homeless . Get one like Kennedy would be great about now . When the poor prosper the rich man prospers twice as much . Basically we need a president that's going to rebuild the good old states.
