Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a medical doctor, should run for president under the auspices of the No Labels group
, calling him a “total flake” and a “stiff.” Cassidy should return the favor by running for president on the No Labels ticket.
Dr. Cassidy, a gastroenterologist, isn’t a nationally known figure and he doesn’t ooze with charisma, but he is a sensible, thoughtful, impressive senator and repeatedly has proved to be a. Cassidy is a solid but not extreme conservative with a lifetime American Conservative Union rating of 80 and a liberal Americans for Democratic Action rating under 10.
First, he has an appealing back story, full of compassion. Right after he got married in 1990, he and his wife, Laura, spent eight weeks in Swaziland in a medical mission hospital. In the Louisiana capital of Baton Rouge a few years later, he co-founded a clinic providing free dental, medical, vision, and mental healthcare to the working uninsured. He also set up a partnership to vaccinate 36,000 children against Hepatitis B at no cost to parents or schools.
Second, he has an excellent record as a can-do senator, working as the ranking member of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee and improve the U.S. mental health system.
No Labels and Cassidy should roll the dice. The American political system is sick, but this doctor just might cure it.
