Only a businessman who has climbed the ladder and dealt with the huge problems of being in business has the skills and experience to run a country. A self made man, who will renounce all his business holdings would be great.

A bureaucrat would be a disaster, we're seeing that in Europe and the result is people clearly out of their depth.

The situation the US is in is one of big business controlling politicians to a degree that threatens democracy.

Take Dianne Feinstein for an example. Her 2012 Campaign cost $34,524,710 In 2018 she will need to raise more to keep the job, so will anyone else who wants to over throw her.

Barack Obama, Mitt Romney election budgets both topped $1 billion in 2012.

This is why you have a very expensive Healthcare System, a crap public schools system, can't get real controls on who can or cannot own a gun. And whoever sits in power, from Governors to Presidents has to toe the line, if the donors tell them to.

Trump will not have to toe the line, he can write his own line. Look back at his career and see where he put the lines previously and who benefitted from them.

Then read this.
