David's Overview

Christopher would not be able to handle being in politics. Wikipedia says, “Many critics attack politicians for being out of touch with the public. Areas of friction include the manner in which politicians speak, which has been described as being overly formal and filled with many euphemistic and metaphorical expressions and commonly perceived as an attempt to ‘obscure, mislead, and confuse’”(Wikipedia). Christopher would not be able to stay in touch with the public, because he does not have the ability to see the public’s various and extremely different ideas. He would either crumble underneath all the different views or become severely separated from the public. He would fit right into what the critics claim of every other politician. Christopher would simply increase the “friction” between the government and the public. His views would not line up with every single person within the public, so he would see why the other views are important. Christopher could not understand what would be better for the public, but what would only be better for his beliefs.
