you missed the point. when we have people claiming that it's scary we have a system that lets anyone run for president, that's scarier than Trump running for president.

i think i know you well enough to know you don't have a problem with the part of the voting process that allows citizens to run for elected office.

people may not like the particular citizen running, and i get that, but to say the system that allows for that is scary? that's one of the parts of the process we need to cling to.
