So is there no businessman whom you would consider suitable for President of the USA? And would _any_ past governor of California be a good candidate for President of the USA? What states would you consider suitable training-grounds for governors who wish to transition to POTUS? Is there _any_ job, civilian or military, other than state governor, that you would consider as suitable preparation for POTUS? As a reference point: "I would rather be governed by the first two thousand people in the Boston telephone directory than by the two thousand people on the faculty of Harvard University." - William F. Buckley, Jr.

> So is there no businessman whom you would consider suitable for President of the USA? I did not say or imply that. I think you are inferring a bidirectional implication where none was intended or implied. A businessman can be a fine President, but the job of businessman (generally) does not provide more Presidential preparation than other jobs. A former stat governor can be a lousy President, but at least being governor will have put them in a job that is very similar to President.
