But it should take someone with some experience in office, no?

And what is it about any of these people that suggests they are good at managing all of their work, family and community? Trump's been married multiple times, for example, and has been described as the 'least charitable billionaire in the world' (suggesting he's less than keenly interested in the 'community'. Surely a highly educated, successful person with a stable marriage and some experience in government would make a better candidate than any of the ones i mentioned if that were the only criteria used to judge them.

Obama didn't have much experience and I think he did well enough.

I'm very anti-Trump, so I can't really square up a defense for the man. I will, however, defend those that want to vote for him in earnest.

Obama didn't have much experience and I think he did well enough.

According to Wiki, his former jobs were community organizer (whatever that is), lawyer, and lecturer. So yeah he wasn't experienced in office but at least he presumably had some understanding of how laws were made. Isn't that one of the president's main jobs.

So will I. There's nothing wrong with someone having their own opinions and I wasn't arguing they should be denied the right to vote for Trump or anyone else.
