    Because outside of the last 4 years status quo has worked wonders? Every politician starts as an amateur. Actor or bar tender, it doesn’t matter. Seems like for the majority the only factor that truly matters is which side the amateur picks.
    Except you don’t go from actor, bartender or Joe the Plumber to POTUS. There should be some pretty important life achievements in between. Are you really trying to say that four years of POOTWH was better than everything that came before or the 51 or 52 days or whatever since? 
    No, I am not sure how you interpreted that. I said outside of the last 4 years.

    My bad for misunderstanding that but what has been so bad of the “status quo” that you think someone with little to no experience in or with government would be able to fix? I have issues with past administrations and their policies but I’m not sure replacing them with someone who’s an actor or a bartender is the solution.

    No worries. My point was that if status quo has gotten us to where we are, what is wrong with trying another approach? I don’t think prior to trump anyone would have considered the US a political utopia, and to automatically think anyone outside of politics coming in will be trump 2.0 is not rational.

    I honestly don’t know why anyone who could just put the rest of their life on autopilot would want this, but he does come across as a genuine guy. I know he gets labeled a conservative but describes himself as centrist, which I would prefer. 
    I have no problems with conservative people. I have problems with people themselves.

    I don’t know much about him personally, but have watched parts of recent-ish interviews with him, and he did come across as sincere and not paying lip service. 
    People. They're the worst.

    No thanks, give me someone who has a fundamental understanding of how government works and the three branches of government, their roles, responsibilities and how they function together, at times in conflict with one another. Fuck amateur hour.
    you have more than a fundamental understanding of all of that. are you saying you couldn't/shouldn't do it? or is it just because he's famous? 

    the only thing I don't like about famous people running is that the electorate is stupid enough to vote for them for the sole reason of their fame; but the actor's fame doesn't preclude them from being a good public servant. 

    how do you know he doesn't have a fundamental understanding of how it works?
