before they can be put on the ballot. They can figure out how to establish an impartial panel to administer these test but this must be done. Right now we are being held hostage by a complete nutcase. It is only by the grace of some almighty being that we are not at war and by saying that I may have spoken too soon.

Should Obama have had to face such a panel? Bill Clinton? Hillary?

(13,877 posts)about 30% of the voters who are stark raving mad. The next republican candidate will come from that sick pool. And I don't think that Obama or either of the Clintons would have objected to a fair test.

Your idea sounds fine but is ridiculous.

(4,448 posts)DO you know anyone who is impartial to Trump?
Who selects the panel? Who selects the selectors? Who selects the selectors who selects the panel? You get the idea
Having an impartial panel who selects qualified candidates would be wonderful. But so would flying cars.

(7,911 posts)some previous background in an elected or appointed public office for some kind so the candidate at least has a vague idea of how government works. Something like you can't be a president unless you've previously been a congressman, or governor, or mayor of a major city, a district judge, etc. etc. No more real estate con men.
