The most basic requirement for any leader in a democracy is that they support democracy (and therefore, the constitution).
It's not difficult to find such a person, except in the #GOP.
Other qualities, such as intelligence and competence (which #Trump doesn't have either) are secondary:

- "X" etc. against candidates that you're not voting for, especially if there is only one of them: It can be argued that the "X" indicates a candidate that you're voting for. Some people mark a line through the box, which can look like a "1". Leave the space blank.

If you're casting a protest vote for Gavin, fill in a second preference so that your vote is not wasted.
Some common mistakes we see that can spoil ballots are:
- Writing other than the numbers beside each candidate: Any slogans, opinions, or whatever (they all spoil the vote).

Since his actual claims of how it will be funded are fantasy, it would have to actually be funded by even more cuts, or even more borrowing (when we should be reducing debt).
