Something I'm grateful about regarding Trump's presidency...

[retrowire]

For the longest time, I think many had wondered at one point or another whether or not a non-politician would be sufficient for the job of presidency. A lot of people wondered if even a businessman would be a greater option.

I mean there's a lot of people that are tired of same old, same old politicians and honestly, what better way to show ourselves that it's a TERRIBLE idea other than this?

I mean, there's no need to hypothetically wonder anymore is there? Clearly, if you've got no political background, you'll have no fucking clue how the ins and outs work. Unless you're a genius or person that passionately studies politics to begin with.

I'm just saying that I know now more than ever, I want my presidents to be politicians.

We did much better when the Constitutional Law Professor ran things than the failed reality show host, dont you think.

2. I think he proves that a working knowledge of how government works is most helpful

3. I think it proves you have to put the training wheels on first

if you want to be a CEO and go into politics, you at least need to be a Governor, Senator, or big city Mayor. No more of this pipeline directly to president crap.
