Can anyone honestly say that if you were hiring for the position of President, that you would even consider these people for the job? It is like going to the hospital for major surgery and asking for the least experienced doctor they had, infact not even a doctor let the orderly do it.

that's why europeans kind of think our version of democracy is a bit crazy. parliaments (like in britain) have elections and the majority party gets the prime minister, who's usually been around and in that party for a long time, and is answerable to them.

the problem with outsiders is that people elect them thinking they'll be able to change things, and don't realize that the president's powers are actually a bit limited, especially if he's fighting congress.

No, the problem is special interest and lobbiest who buy and sell influence within the political system. It's no great secret.

That's why trump and Bernie are doing so well.

maybe you misread my post? the problem with outsiders isn't special interests or lobbyist, that's the problem with our political system, which, i assume is the point you wanted to make.
