I get the irony on the current topic. Aside from that I've always rejected the notion previous political experience is the gold standard qualifier for POTUS.
In today's corrupt political climate it's actually a hindrance. Party over country is sadly the flavor of Washington, and it's been that way for decades.
IMHO, a real estate/business mogul who spent five decades building a multi-faceted international empire is far more qualified than a community organizer/lawyer/IL State and 1-term U.S. Senator.
Sure there is catch up on political process and historical background, but nothing an intelligent, highly successful, CEO of a multiple industry company can't navigate.
The President is often narrowly viewed as simply the top political position. Now more than ever, it's more akin to the CEO of America, IMHO.
The person in charge of all divisions dealing with political, military, civil, etc concerns on a domestic and international level. It's always been this way, but technology and expanded global connection has made it far more diverse and complicated.
While the Senator was busy pushing a party agenda and working towards re-election, the int'l CEO was working tirelessly on one thing...every decision is made towards success for his organization.
Now that we're going to apply that same strategy to all divisions of America, Inc., monumental things will get accomplished in the best interest of our country.
Well that is if he can get the spoken for politicians to move aside just far enough to run this organization efficiently.
It's no head-scratcher to me why he's added super successful business leaders to his cabinet. Politicians have their roles too, but he also wants guys out there leading the charge who know how to get sh*t done in the real world.
