Good point.

I agree completely there. Who was the last Senator who was worth a damn as President? It sure wasn’t Obunghole.

In my lifetime, only Nixon or JFK really seemed up to snuff to me, and both of them had their obvious issues. Johnson, definitely not. Then you have to go way back.

I am no fan of Harry Truman due to his interactions with people like Sen. McCarthy coupled with his cover up of embarrassing Democrat collusion and acceptance of communists in the government. It was more important to him to cover it all up to protect the Democrat Party than it was to give national security precedence as it should have.

So I agree with you...Senators make lousy Presidents, and even more so in today’s political world.

There is a very low standard to get elected U.S. Senator in a lot of states these days. Some are borderline morons or even imbeciles. I'm thinking of people like Patty Murray or Bob Casey, Jr.

Even the worst governors have to do something more than these nitwits.

Senators make lousy Presidents, and even more so in today’s political world.

The Senate doesn't train someone to make tough decisions, it trains someone to compromise away tough decisions.

We need a President who knows how to make tough decisions.
