@elbanditoroso: “As we can clearly see from Trump, experience and knowledge actually matters.”
I disagree that Trump’s lack of experience makes him a problem. The fact that he’s a Republican, pushes a traditional Republican agenda, and happens to be a racist misogynist xenophobe are problems with Trump.
@elbanditoroso: “Nixon might be the choice of the gay community, but we need someone who knows how to govern. Not a novice.”
“Gay community”?
Keep in mind that Clinton ran on experience. She was the “most experienced”. How did people react? People have little faith in government and their leaders. Regardless of party, they have learned that experience = they get f*cked. They are not looking for experience. They are looking for a genuine disruption of the that experience.
The “experience” narrative is laughable to those on the left as well as those on the right. It’s neither a path towards election victory or a recipe for effecting the change that many desire and need.
