@georgeob1,
Isn't that true for all of us? Trump, for example, would readily admit this. I'm sure of it.
There's an interesting phenomenon in all this. On the one hand, it is not uncommon for many people to believe that government office is a simple matter and that most anyone could just step in and quickly set things right. Sarah Palin and her supporters for example. Yet on the other hand, if the political post in question is possibly going to be taken over by someone not in one's own party, the challenges of the job become insurmountable.
