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.

I would agree, but I think the exception would be if the "Joe the Plumber" candidate had a cabinet picked out, and said cabinet had committed to the candidate.
I know things do not currently work that way, but if the experience of the supporting cast is known, I think the executive experience of the figurehead is less of a factor.
Again, not the norm and unlikely to ever happen, but stranger things have happened.
Look where we are now.
