23. Here's what's stupid from my perspective

If you are choosing any professional service -- lawyer, doctor, dentist, engineer -- you want the person with the most education and ability. You want someone with intellectual accumen who knows what the heck he/she is talking about.

But for the POTUS, for the last 8 years, we've reduced this to the student council election. OMG -- not the smart kid! We don't want the smart kid! We want the jock and the prom queen.

Then we wonder why we're 9 trillion in debt and we can't get anything accomplished in this country.
