“Cynicism has, in certain quarters, a distinct kind of glamour. It sounds tough not to have too many hopes – and to claim to see through the dreams of others. Cynics will tell you that everyone is selfish and weak; that ‘the system’ is rigged and driven by greed; that you can never succeed so it’s pointless (and contemptible) to try; that all ideals are ridiculous and that ‘do gooders’ are only out to show off their own (supposed) virtues…”

Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton Now In The Spotlight On A National Stage |

The Mayor of Phoenix Prepares to Take On Trump

Your MesaZona blogger made it a point last year to meet Greg Stanton catching him alone during a stand-up breakfast buffet before his engaging speech at the LISC Phoenix Annual Awards Breakfast held at the Phoenix Art Museum. In a brief close-encounter personal sphere there's a strong magnetic resonance that radiated later to the assembled crowd while he spoke standing tall at the podium.

Maybe he's not a born-performer, but he certainly is energized by his public role onstage advocating for what he feels and cares about whole-heartedly with a drive and ambition grounded in a few years of drama in public office in Phoenix where he's exercised his personal and political talents across state-wide, national and trans-national boundaries.

In this article from yesterday, Greg Stanton gets more attention he well deserves, although the headline used is cast as "taking on Trump", that's just a click-bait tactic for two players with ambitions - we will see how that plays out. . .
