So let's get rid of the career politicians - bye Obama, Clintons, Gore, Bernie, Kerry, Bush, and most of the Dem candidates we've had recently (and plenty of Repubs).  Get rid of the silver spoons if you want, and most of the same again and many more.

But there have been plenty of successful business people who have run, and the vast majority (save Trump) had to work their way up a company....yes, including Romney.  To say no one has run that ever held a "middle class job" is demonstrably false. Most anyone who isn't a career politician like Clinton, or trust fund baby like Bush, started their career at good 'ol fashioned entry level jobs just like you and me.

A middle manager or factory line worker is not capable of running a country.  Sorry, it sounds like a nice idea, but IMO the only people capable of the job are career politicians and Execs who've run large companies. This is readily obvious once you see and understand the gigantic leap from even Sr. Mgmt to the C-suite, even at smaller companies with just a few hundred million in revenues.

The job calls for significant Exec experience.  If you want Joe the Plumber, ok I'm sure he'll make a fine Representative or maybe even a Senator....but no business being near the Oval Office.
