If that is so then we agree. But you do realize Trump has claimed he knows more about military engagement than our generals do. Need I say anymore?
Every president and many politicians claim to know more about things they don't know so much about. It's why we elect them.
The great irony of how society has been built. The warrior class warriors, the working class works, the health care professionals to do health care, the engineers build, the scientist R n D...the politicians and bureaucracy claim to know more about all of those things than the actual people who do them, end up getting elected and then set the policies on how to do all of those things.
Sometimes you get some people who had success in fields outside of politics who get elected but rarely do they make significant headway. They get buried in the rank and file.
Then occasionally you'll get a Trump, non-career political/bureaucratic class type who's had some success doing something, and the beast will at the very least bark them off the stage if not accuse them of being a Russian asset.
Tulsi...knows about war, suggests it's not so good and a lot of money and resources are being unnecessarily wasted overseas...RUSSIAN ASSET!!!
Once in a while, we'll see a doctor run for something, and nobody we'll seem to care about their take on health care.
Hell, Howard Schultz. From projects to one of the best CEOs of the last 30-40 years, liberal but halfway sensible and knowledgeable can't even run as a centrist/independent because it may take votes away from some radical lawyers and a couple of academics turned career politicians who haven't done anything outside of their coastal bubbles.
We'll see how Bloomberg does, but I wouldn't hold my breath for him. A successful guy who knows the business, finance, economics...a bit too globalist for my liking, but at least he has some credentials and a resume outside of philosophizing, theorizing in the classroom and/or the Senate chamber...if he makes too much headway something will come out that back when he was a successful Republican Mayor getting shit done he had an affair, groped somebody at an office party, said something inappropriate when yucking it up with some friends, used a racial slur, or maybe had lunch with somebody from eastern Europe once...maybe all of the above...
