Poll: 61% Percent Concerned about Trump's Experience
NBC News ^ | May 23, 2016 | Carrie Dann

Posted on 05/23/2016 4:02:31 PM PDT by Innovative

Donald Trump has highlighted his credentials as an outsider throughout his 2016 campaign, but six-in-ten American voters say they're unsure about his lack of military or government experience, a new NBC News/ Wall Street Journal poll shows.

And more than 40 percent say they're very uncomfortable about the holes in his resume, which would make him the first president without a record of military or elected public service.

The government is a business. Trump is a very experienced businessman.

People forget that the president is the Chief Executive Officer. I’d say he is more qualified than anybody running now.

Obama is a very sad joke, Hillary is downright evil. Both have experience in getting money and power the underhanded way, so they have that going for them.

Hello! Barack Hussein Obama, never even ran so much as a lemonade stand, or had a paper route.

Why the hell didn’t you vet his lack of experience you traitorous, NBC ass kissers!

I’ll take Trump’s real world experience, business acumen, and common sense over all the other pretenders.

I’m VERY concerned about NBC releasing yet another bogus poll in an attempt to influence voter thinking.

Yes. Trump went to a military academy for five years. Based on what I researched, Trump graduated top rank, was an excellent athlete, and was well liked and respected by his peers.

BTW, young Hunter endorsed Trump early on last February. Based on current knowledge, I can't think of anyone more patriotic than this guy and he came out and said in an interview that he endorsed Trump for a variety of reasons including national security. Trump AND Newt should vet Hunter as a potential running mate.

Elected “public servants” have been shoved down our throats for far too long. They can’t manage, nor do they have any fiscal sanity.

Look at the biographies of Paul Ryan, Ben Sasse, etc. They spent about a year in the public sector, then started working on campaigns. Their efforts are then rewarded by helping them get elected.

The only competent sector of government is the military.

Washington & Lincoln had no political experience prior to their Presidencies, and only Washington had any military experience.

Washington served in the Virginia legislature and in the First and Second Continental Congresses, and was Chairman of the Constitutional Convention.

Lincoln served in the House of Representatives.

It’s not Trumps lack of experience they are worried about, it’s Hillary’s lack of mental and physical disabilities that they are worried about...

NBC, really? News Bought Clintons...just like ABC, CBS and all the others, bought and paid for by the Clinton Crime Foundation...

The same people weren’t bothered by Obama’s lack of military or private sector experience.

If this poll is correct, the majority of Americans are brain-dead morons.

Any wonder why Cankles is measuring the Oval Office drapes?

61% think Cankles must be qualified.

Something tells me that no one has ever bet wrong on underestimating the American people.

Of course there is a double standard.

Reagan was a politician so no one worried about lack of political experience.

Aren’t people sick of politicians? At least I thought the argument for Trump is that he’s an outsider.

So why are people worried about experience?
