Neither did Donald Trump and he became the best President in my lifetime.
It's a mistake, IMHO, to think a good businessman with actual good ethics can't be a good Governor or President. From what I've seen; they can make the best kind of leader in politics because they think like a businessman and not a politician which of course irks the professional politicians that should have term limited out long ago.
Agree!
If we use the Founding Fathers’ intent, one should not go into politics until one has proven themselves capable and gained experience in the non-political world. (Yes, education is important but education without real world experiences is a one-legged stool!) The “politicos” who go into politics right out of college (sometimes even high school!) should usually be laughed at for their pretentiousness! I have a very hard time voting for one of these “life neophytes” no matter how sound his\her conservative principles are. I will if the Rat is a loon! (Which nowadays is almost always true!) I am tired of professional politicians. If such a politician has been in city, county, state or federal office more than two terms it’s likely time for them to go! Vote the ‘ins’ out is a good rule-of-thumb!
