What experiences qualify each candidate to be President of the U.S.?

Question

Why is that experience important for them?

Answer 1

Get drunk, snort coke, and be a 'C' student in college.

Answer 2

What does experience have to do with being president?

Bill Clinton had been a governor, he went to Washington with good ideas, and reformed -- student loans (saving me money), welfare, the federal budget, among other things -- and after eight years left the largest peace-time economic expanse in the nation's history. He left balanced budgets, cut spending and a nation at peace.

George Bush had been a governor, and he went to Washington with few ideas, and he created the greatest debt in the history of the country, increased spending to record levels, cut taxes for the wealthy, created no-bid government contracts, left the nation involved in two international wars, and unable to respond to additional military threats.

I'll take good ideas over 'experience' any time.

Answer 3

Democrats need to be well educated, intelligent and able to speak well.

Republicans need to drool a lot, believe in GEEZUS, not believe in Evolution, believe that a clump of bloody cells is a baby and be willing to not have a brain but to just follow what their SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS who OWN THEM tell them what to do.

Answer 4

Technically, neither of the candidates have any executive experience.  They are in good company, though.   More than one out of four former Presidents fell into this category upon entering into office, including George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

Experience doesn't necessarily mean quality.

Answer 5

The reality is that there is no experience required. The only requirements are those set forth in the constitution. If you meet those, then all it takes is winning the electoral votes.
