Gandalf's policies easily outwitted those of Saruman's. Can you give me any examples of what Saruman actually achieved? Building an army of orcs and wargs is an achievement? In my book, anyone who abandons the forces of Good for orcs is weak and is a freak.
I totally imply that Hitler was a poor politician as much as Sauron would have been,
if put in line with the context of this thread, as good ones always succeed, and always have bearings for the forces of Good. It is far easier to raise havoc as an evil leader of state using evil policies. I do not wish to liken a good politician with evil designs, however capable. This thread aimed to promote the forces of Good in Middle Earth, namely Gandalf. If you do not like this, please PM me with your thoughts. No more will be said further here.
Effectively, is Gandalf the best candidate we could have ever had to lead the US? Was he the ultimate
Good politician?
