1.Who needs experience to be president? Donald Trump would have less public service experience than any president in our history, but knowledge is lame. What could go wrong?Oh, nuclear weapons, you say? Other countries walk all over us because they trust us to be reasonable. 2.) We’ve accepted that leaders need not be saints, so why not embrace a paragon of fraud? With his experience cheating consumers at Trump University, maybe we could even fund government by cheating foreign tourists. 3.) Trump might become the most entertaining president in history. If Clinton is elected, she’ll give earnest, wonkish speeches about the benefits of increasing the child tax credit or raising the minimum wage. Yawn.Trump will insult world leaders. It’ll be the most riveting reality TV ever. 4.) Diversity is important, and Trump is inclusive — of extremists & disenfranchised groups — like white men.
