How do you run for president?

How come, with all the people running for president, only a few Big Fish make it to the top to be noticed? What does it take to run for president what do you need to do to get noticed?

 

Sell your soul to special interests and have name recognition

 

On the dem side you really dont do much the dnc pre picks you .

 

The only politician with less political experience to be president that Donald Trump was Barak Obama.

Of course, Barak was just a hand-picked poster boy for the democratic party.

Donald Trump was his own candidate

 

Affirmative action

 

But how do you have name recognition? Do something dastardly?

 

But I wouldn't want to have a plan that flip flops based on the dnc position of the day.

 

You need three things mainly

1) Money
2) Organization

And most of all

3) Timing.

 

Actually, it was Herbert Hoover.

 

He was a POTUS... oh yeah.. caused the Great Depression?

I get him mixed up with the weird FBI guy,, who cross dressed I hear

do share the juicy hoover tidbits please? Would love to hear how his orange brain disease was worse than Trumps

Herbert Hoover
31st U.S. President


Description
Herbert Clark Hoover was an American engineer, businessman, and politician who served as the 31st president of the United States from 1929 to 1933. A member of the Republican Party, he held office during the onset of the Great Depression. Wikipedia

Born: August 10, 1874, West Branch, IA
Died: October 20, 1964, Waldorf Astoria New York, New York, NY
Presidential term: March 4, 1929 – March 4, 1933
Spouse: Lou Henry Hoover (m. 1899–1944)
Vice president: Charles Curtis (1929–1933)
Education: Stanford University (1891–1895), George Fox University: Newberg Campus

 

Hoover did not cause the Great Depression. It started when he had been in office well under a year. The conditions that caused it were already "baked in" when he took office.

Arguably Hoover did too much to try to alleviate the suffering of the Depression and ended up prolonging it. FDR later built on Hoover's efforts and prolonged it even more.

 

Obama had experience in politics. In fact, Trump is the only POTUS with no prior political or military experience.

 

Donald Trump has no experience in politics at all. Obama was a senator and was involved in politics his whole adult life. Eisenhower and Grant had none whatsoever but at least had some public service. Did you even think before you posted?

 

Donald Trump lost in the first election he ran in. But he might have learned valuable lessons that led him to win the second time.

 

Advantage of trying to become president at the repubican side is that you don't have to know **** about anything. You can be completely oblivious to policies, backgrounds, nuances, anything remotely resembling intellect and just run on one-liners and attacking opponents that they drink too much water.

Trying to become president at the democratic side is a bit harder. You actually have to know what you're talking about and defend policies. And you compete with what feels like a 100 opponents.
