All politicians tell people what they want to hear, rather than what they need to hear. Too many care about themselves and perpetuating their political careers more than promoting the general welfare. If that is their goal, a certain diagnosis of their character has already been made.
The key is discovering whether a presidential candidate has a core set of principles from which he (or she) will not deviate except under the most extreme of circumstances. Moral character is important, though people sometimes define such things according to their own moral standards.
