Are the qualifications for President based on personality? Or is it to get the job done?

See, this is the absurdity with many Trump supporters. You argue that Hillary only makes promises but never gets anything done. Well no shit, we have a system with checks and balances, where she never would have held any position that would allow her to simply will into existence everything she promises. Trump will tell you he can do it. He will make all these grand promises and tell you that he can get them done, regardless of the fact that Democratics won't work with him and he's pissed off a substantial amount of Republican politicians. That's because he doesn't have a fucking clue how our government works, and neither do the people that eat up this strong-man authoritarian bullshit. The difference is CEOs for corporations have one mission - make money to grow the business. Whereas the President not only has to mind the economy but domestic and foreign policy, civil rights, and a diverse constituency. The President isn't just President for the hardcore supporters who put them in office, they have to be the President for the entire population. If all that matters to you in a President is that they be a bull about everything then sooner or later you're going to end up with a Hitler or Stalin, and that's not what the USA is about. Are you aware of the gem that is Hillary Clinton? She's a fantastic actress, you should check out some of her work. Her most recent performance was as "politician who gives a shit about her nation's people." Not gonna lie, it wasn't her greatest role. Not very believable. However, she played "devoted wife" pretty well, by choosing to stay with her womanizing, rapist, pedophile of a husband. If she can look past rape, she must be strong... And she really convinced us of that. Other roles include: Oblivious Politician ("'C' stands for classified?' Ha! Classic!), Politician with Pneumonia, Politician who was inspired by the film Lincoln, Politician who accidentally deleted a shit ton of emails, Politician who likes Obama, and many many more. Actually, now that I think about it... She was totally unconvincing in all of those roles, but she's definitely devoted to her craft. 2
