Now, you may want to hand the job of POTUS to a guy who argues well, but has zero Executive experience, or to a guy with lots of showmanship who's biggest qualification appears to be that he's made (and lost) lots of money, and that is your choice to make, but some people would rather support a candidate based on real and measurable on-the-job accomplishments than on speeches and vague promises of how things will be.
