Each of the other candidates, both on the Democratic side as well as the republican side, have some impressive credentials too, with the exception of Carly Fiornia who like Trump, only comes from a business background.
I get that Trump wants to be president and his ideas which I personally disagree with, are ringing the bells of a lot of people. But don't you think that he at least should have held office somewhere else first? Even Sarah Palin was a governor for a while.
