Why do we always drag down our own. He's got a few more years to get ready for prime time and he's 10 times more experience than Trump will ever be. Whatever experience he lacks, he makes up for in intelligence and has enough humility to appoint experts who are more experience than he is to cabinet positions. If there is one thing he is not, it's a know-it-all.

I don't know if we have another 6 years to wait for someone who can get the non-voters excited and into the voting booths.

(Sorry, I don't mean to come across as hostile toward you - I agree with you. I am just frustrated w/ a lot of the nay-sayers on this board.)
