Time to Test the Presidential Candidates

by Henry Precht
There is a school of political scientists that argues candidates for high office ought to be selected by examination rather than ballot. It’s not a very significant or noisy school, to be sure. But it’s a thesis that bears examination.
Let’s say that those in the presidential contest were sat down behind desks for an essay exam. Let’s say that the subject was a frequently discussed one: How would you, dear candidate, deal with the terrorist Islamic State (ISIS or IS)? 
The following sound-bite answers (unidentified as to author) are taken from their many pronouncements. The comments are my red pencil notes thereon.http://lobelog.com/time-to-test-the-presidential-candidates/#more-33654
