LOL. People ALWAYS say this. Try to run a political novice against a polished, skilled politician and see what happens almost every time. And the bigger the office, the more difficult it is for the novice. There is a reason successful politicians generally start out at the very local level and work their way up. Like it or not, politics is a skill. People get better at it. It isn't enough to be right to win elections. If it were, we wouldn't be 16 trillion in debt, have 8.2% unemployment, have gas approaching 5 bucks a gallon, etc. The "regular" non-politician guy/girl is going to get steamrolled almost every single time - and not just here in the US, this is true the world over.
That sure don’t say much for the voting citizens...the chumps.
