I’ve noticed that some on the left are repeating a similar idea that only people with real “qualifications” should run for office citing President Trump as someone who was unqualified to hold office and people like Kamel Toe and Sleepy Joe are the kinds of folks who understand modern politics. Gone are the days when it’s said that any citizen in this country can hold office or even be the President if they have the drive and desire.
“ Gone are the days when it’s said that any citizen in this country can hold office or even be the President if they have the drive and desire.”
That has never, ever been true.
Being President is a job that requires certain skills which are not provided by “drive and desire”.
In fact, if it’s true (or if it ever was true) that drive and desire alone could get you one of the most complex and difficult executive positions in the world, something is seriously wrong.
