Name one! Outside of the founders every President has been involved in the process of government at some level before becoming the Chief Executive, if you don't understand government you have no clue as to how it is suppose to operate, regardless of your position on issues.
Electing politicians nearly every time has gotten us:
-$30T in debt
-a ponzi scheme SS lockbox
-went off the gold standard so now gov't prints Monopoly money that devalues the dollar we have
-got us in to many useless military conflicts & wars
-driven our major cities into horrendous decay
-destroyed our public education when you look at our ranking trend amongst developed nations
-polarized our population against each other, more now than ever
-politicized law enforcement & fed gov't agencies (FBI, DOJ)
-obliterated our Southern border security
-gov't corruption where 10% for the Big Guy doesnt even get investigated...standard operating procedure
-destroyed our manufacturing so we can't make computer chips, meds, N-95 masks, rare Earth minerals
-have 2/3rds of American living paycheck to paycheck
-homelessness, drug abuse, and crime are rampant
I could go on and on and on, but you get the idea. How are polititicans serving us? In fact, they are failing us.
I am 100% confident that we could take 535 College Summa Cume Laude's from the best 535 colleges/universities in America, & produce superior outcomes in Congress to what we are getting for our money today in the House & Senate.
How can things be any worse? I could choose a random High School class President and do better than this for President.
Do you think electing polititicans to become President, nearly every time, has got America in a good place right now?
Good and bad times come and go constantly.
They're never the fault of a good President when the times are bad, and are never the reward of a bad President when times are good. But every President is always partly responsible for both. So is Congress.
And there are always bad times that aren't political in nature but can become political when incorrectly addressed. (Or ignored)
The Presidency has a lot of limits as the Administrative branch. Any effective President needs to have executive grade political experience to be effective within the constraints that limit the office's powers. Sometimes that effectiveness is popular, sometimes not. And sometimes the effectiveness only becomes apparent after a President has left office.
So yes. While America may not be in a good place right now, I still believe the Presidency is an office that needs to be occupied by an experienced professional politician.
Especially when times are bad. That's the time when a single executive policy can turn the times.
Business is too cut and dried to give an executive the experience needed to lead a people who have always been quarrelsome.
Sure, but their vision for our country would have to align with what I want to see happen in this country.
I wouldn’t automatically choose a political outsider “just because.â€
Besides, we’ve seen what we get with a 50-year career politician in office. It’s been a disaster.
I would select any random medium-sized business owner over Biden right here right now.

please explain how this chart is good for Americans? This is 90 years of politicians on both sides running the show:
After the Trump experience, I think there is something to be said for electing a President who has a clear track record of defending the Constitution.
but you turned around and voted for Obama, Hillary and Biden. Thanks for the fake lecture and the laugh.
