The only answer so far has been "nothing else works".

But things HAVE worked.  But people want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

And it's not just saving the education system.  The job involves a lot more than that.

And she shows no knowledge of any of it.

A smarter, honest person would admit that that not accept the nomination.

A person who is a one trick pony and wants the power to try and force her ideas on an entire nation wouldn't.  Even if she has to swallow her pride and accept it from a man she wouldn't endorse for POTUS.

No matter how ill-suited they are for the job.

I'm not saying my way is the only way or the best way and your way is wrong and sucks.  I'm saying you wouldn't ask the least prepared person in the room to perform delicate surgery on your loved ones no matter how far along their injuries are and when there are other people who have an idea of what is going on.

The surgery anology is not relevant as there are specific requirements one must meet to practice medicine; however, in her position all I've gotten for a qualification is "some experience in education".

This lady is not going to be in any classroom educating anyone; she is simply a politician. She doesn't have to usual experiences the last few have had; although one could argue she's in line with Clinton SOE. Our current elementary education system is falling and often times in business we bring in someone known as a "change agent" to refocus the organization or diversity hires if we want to change the culture.

Trump is a businessman and it appears he wants to run the country as a business. Everybody screaming at the top of their lungs "It will fail" before it is given a chance are just being closed minded and petty. Including Pocahontas reciting Correata Scott King after she had been told to stop of course that is just her way of saying another appointee is "not qualified".
