>I agree that this is why so many people voted for him - but I also think that is pretty darn stupid. Why is it that for this ONE job people seem to think you don't need an expert? Hey if you're sick, you call a doctor. If your house has electrical problems, you call an electrician. Why on earth do people think otherwise for a political position like this? He's not running for an entry-level city council type of job here. Hey my leg is broke - do me a favor and call ANYONE except a doctor because I'm tired of doctors? This logic is just stupid and thinking this way is for sure going to backfire. There are going to be a lot of people who vote for Trump for no other reason than they don't like HRC - which is also a pretty stupid reason to vote for someone.

There's quite a bit of circular logic in there. People vote for A because they don't like B, but then others vote for B because of expertise, even though they hate the whole political class and know what this expertise is about. This is not expertise in running the country to the maximal benefit of all, it's in playing the game. Instead of making decisions which are in the best interest of the many, they are catering to special interests, blackmailing each other in petty tit-for-tats, horsetrading, posturing for the media and the next elections, projecting image, doing as their PR managers tell them is the most proficient use of their air time, and making sure they all get dirty rich in the process.

I'd like to see the advice of Thomas Jefferson brought to life: do it from scratch every 20 years or so. Dismantle the whole thing, don't try to wash it, just make a new one.
