We've got to get over this image and charisma thing and look for somebody boring who will just do the job.

7. engineers not good presidents

based on past history.

you've got your Herbert Hoover (mining engineer) and your Jimmy Carter (nuclear engineer) both much better as expresidents than presidents.

so I think the electrical engineering not a good plan, either. Of course, both of the former ones who tried did actualy work as engineers for a period of time, Bloomberg was simply a businessman and a trader, not a working engineer.

8. Most are too intelligent and logical to ever even run.

And what is too "nerdy"??
