Are people really going to say the next President should be someone with zero experience after how well the current one is doing?

I think the idea is “Trump won, and he’s a well known celebrity, that must be why he won, let’s try it too.” But Trump winning was a total fluke, and if Zuckerberg, or The Rock, or Mark Cuban, or whoever else actually runs in 2020, they’ll be destroyed.

Well, I think what’s happened is the bar has officially been lowered in terms of qualifications for the job. In the past there were always certain things you needed to be to get serious consideration. Trump was a fluke in some ways, but he’s definitely opened the flood gates. It’s clear people just don’t care about experience anymore (amongst other things).
