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

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.

Both men are accomplished in their fields.

Cruz is the superior person and candidate IMO, but I will vote for Trump if he is the candidate.

Trump is unclear on many positions, which we all choose to ignore. He makes disturbing comments like, Single-payer and Israel will have to give up more, the good work of Planned Parenthood, etc.. We have no idea where he is really coming from on certain issues.

Yet I believe he is a person of good intent who often speaks before examining an issue and thoroughly understanding it. Because of his ability to delegate, and surround himself with talented people, he will get the best advice I believe. He is definitely not a detail guy.

No other candidate is suitable for me. Cruz first. Trump second. The rest I cannot see voting for, including Rubio.

I have been testing people for their management style (same as personality) for my entire working career. Then for 15 years I owned a large consulting company here in Seattle, and tested a ton more folks (over a 1,000) for high level positions, as well as for team building in both the public and private sector.

Here is a quick summary: There are 6 basic elements that make us who we are and how we act. Drive (accomplishment), Influence (control over others) Compliance (following the rules) Security (action taken to prevent the unexpected), Energy level and IQ (least important).

The relationship of those attributes makes us who we are. I believe it is determined 70% genetic and 30% cultural.

, but four basic ones:

Task Oriented - These people are driven by accomplishing tasks - they tend to be a bit gruff, and focused on getting things done. Good delegaters, but expect results from their subordinates. About 17% of the population (my estimate) Business owners, managers, etc NOTE i THINK TRUMP FITS HERE

Influencers - these folks are motivated by their control over others. They are personable, look good, and tend to be popular - They tend to be poor delegaters, and micro manages their subordinates. Also about 17 %. Politicians (why we’re doomed), Lawyers, Journalists, Academics Marketing & Sales

Compliant - Detail oriented creative, and steady. Can be counted on - this is about 33% of the population. Engineers, Doctors, Scientists, researchers, teachers

Security Detail oriented also, tends to be conservative, protects status by following direction, steady good friend, and helper. Also about 32% of population, Artisans, carpenters, steel workers, also many engineers, Doctors and professionals.

Now, those 6 charistics vary from high to low in all individuals so we humans are individually unique. Also some people are able to move from one style to another.
