Being a businessman does not necessarily translate to being a great president.

We’ve had a number of businessmen in the WH with as much negative and positive results as others. Jimmeh Carter ran a successful peanut farm. What did that get us.

Further, attorneys run and organize projects, cases and their own offices.

Having been a business owner of three businesses, two started from the ground up, I can tell you that experience may or may not prepare one for office.

You might say, Well you just ran small businesses. True, but whether you have 20 or 2,000 employees the principles are the same. In fact, smaller business owners have to wear more hats. Large business owners get to delegate more.

Neither does being a lawyer.

Personally I'm sick of lawyers..they're taught to argue both sides of an argument with equal vigor and they do this for hire. They don't really run anything, they write briefs and argue a point in court.

I want someone who has lived in the real world and deals in real. If it weren't for Trump I'd probably vote Cruz but for some reason I have reservations about him. We are in too big a mess to go for inexperience....a mess that was created by a first term senator with extremely little governing experience but seemed to say all the right things for his base.

I wouldn't care if Trump was a janitor. He's the only one not indebted to Washington insiders for donor money, the only one who will actually build a wall to stop illegals because he doesn't have pro-amnesty puppet masters, the only one who is going to really fight ISIS. He'll make an outstanding President.
