They chose a complete political outsider. They selected someone who wasn't affiliated with politics who had some experience with politics. Palin was a politician and she had some political experience and she successfully governed a small tightly knit American state. Trump was a businessman with business experience who ran a multi billion dollar company that did business all over the world who had experience with working with politicians and getting support from politicians. Reagan made an attempt and got beat the first time. America suffered/struggled/endured through the next four years with wishy washy Carter at the helm. The rest is history as far as Reagan. Well, the Kennedy Democrats decided that it was time for a change and time to get the American train back on track which upset the old school tax and spend LBJ/FDR Democrats.

Are there problems when a complete political outsider actually wins a national election on their first attempt with a major upset ? Oh yeah, there are problems as we've seen with his Administration and the weeding out process that's been going on as he's learning the political aspects and sifting through and sorting out people and replacing the ham shack group of politicians and private citizens that he entered office with more committed people or competent people. I kind of expected that going in. So, I'm not that surprised or upset by seeing it going on.

But as you saw with the stats we posted, the Republican administrations of Nixon, Reagan and W. Bush included almost all those adminstration people who were indicted, arrested or jailed since the sixties. The Democratic administrations, and the more honest HW Bush and Ford ones, had virtually none. No such "weeding" needed! Already the "YOU'RE FIRED" Trump administration is swiftly joining the ranks of the corrupt administrations of Nixon, Reagan and W. Bush.
