Reagan didn't.
They can just surround themselves with people who know.
I think its good though. The longer you spend in politics, the more favours you owe people. Political capital. Don't you get excited at the prospect of a leader not beholden to any special interests at all?
> Is that a fair characterization of our positions based on this limited conversation?
In terms of risk/reward, I see higher risk and higher reward. You see higher risk and no change in reward.
I think it is a once in a lifetime opporuntity to have someone not beholden to special interests, and doesn't owe any favours.

- masondixon 10y agoWhat are the top 3 reasons why you dislike Trump so much? And for each of them - can you think of reasons why Trump supporters don't feel the same?
