That's your opinion. I think almost all candidates that get the nomination are qualified. More importantly, can they do the job. Do they have common sense. Do they surround themself with honest people who aren't "yes men & yes women?" Do they make good appointments.
In addition to this, as another poster has said, the President is influential of course, but the heavy lifting is done by the cabinet, bureaucracies, and the effects of POTUS policy are often in judicial appointments and eventual budgets that will be passed through the house.
We'll see in 14 weeks, Boon.
I honestly cannot call this election at this point. I think it will be very tight. I can already imagine the map of the continental US: red in the middle, part of the South, and Blue on the East and West coast and in some
possibly, in the South.
