1. lie, smile, lie, smile, lie, smile and then when your in office lie. I might be wrong on this but then again im a little jaded.
2. Step 1: Formation of Presidential Exploratory Committee Step 2: Announcement of intention to run for president based on findings of exploratory committee Step 3: Fundraising and gathering of support and endorsements from the general public as well as other politicians, special interest groups, corporations, etc. Step 4: Campaigning early, particularly in states where primaries are especially important (i.e. Iowa, New Hampshire, home state, etc.) Step 5: Continuing to campaign to beat out all other opponents from within your own party. Step 6: Attending your party's National Convention and securing the nomination of the party. Step 7: Campaigning nationwide against your opponents from other parties Step 8: Winning the election and securing enough electoral votes to be named the next president.
3. The first five steps: 1. Denial. 2: Anger. 3. Bargaining. 4. Depression. 5. Acceptance.
4. that wouldn't be the sixth step so get off the stairs and go back to step one
