4. Never, ever have a business exec run for the highest office in the land.

Depending on the type of sociopath, a business executive either looks at people as costs (and costs can be cut, and so can the programs that help the people) OR they look at the people as consumers instead of citizens.

Running a corporation, which is perhaps the least democratic beast out there, is nowhere near the same as running a country and establishing domestic and international policies.
