" talking about competent professionals"
That is an oxymoron when discussing politics. Hillary is a perfect example of this.
Again, who cares about Hillary? This is about Trump.
And no, I disagree. There's this idea that anyone who is a "professional politician" is automatically bad. That one can't be "competent" and a "politician", but I disagree.
Here's what "competence" means:
The understanding that being President is not the same as Emperor - there are 3 coequal branches of government.
The understanding that just because you make an EO doesn't mean it's Constitutional or a decree.
The understanding that in order to get things done you have to be able to work with diverse groups - not just your supporters.
You need to be able to negotiate, make deals - and that means give and take.
You need to be mature enough to realize the world isn't composed of only "winners" and "losers" and that a "win-win" outcome is often desirable.
You need to accept defeat gracefully and use it as a template to adjust your strategy.
and more.
