Sorting imperfect options

No one I know would allow a repairman with no experience to work on their TV - or their car, plumbing, roof, etc.

Yet some people would consider letting someone with no experience run their country. If only they would seriously consider the magnitude of the job, the commitment it requires, the scope of international cooperation and the consequences attached to virtually every action, they might see how an erratic personality who is only known for flamboyant self promotion is not the answer. Many elections come down to a choice of two imperfect options, but this election, this second option is so far down on the qualification scale that it's a no-brainer.
