Successful performance at what? Running the country into the ground? That's what our political "experts" have been doing for the last Century. I'd gladly replace Congress (all of them), along with their thousands of lackeys, lickspittles, and hangers-on with a random assortment of truck drivers, ditch diggers, miners, engineers, bartenders, businessmen, and farmers. Throw out all the lawyers and political scientists ... they've proven their negative worth.

We put a businessman in the White House, despite his opponents on the left whining and moaning that he had no "(political) experience". That seems to be turning out reasonably well ...

It is not my fault you think throwing the baby out with the bathwater is a legitimate policy option.

Failure on the part of “experts” does not confer competence to the ignorant. All it proves is the need to find more competent experts.

The first thing one SHOULD do in such circumstances is educate themselves on how to distinguish between presentation and performance.
