I have never understood the problem with "career politicians".
In ever other job people value experience. Everyone would pick a heart surgeon with 15 years experience over a guy who just did it for a year.
Also politicians have to make the voters happy to become "career politicians". I don't know why so many people think we need to get rid of elected officials who are making the voters happy.
