Agreed.
Besides, who gets to make the final determination that a candidate isn't qualified? What happens when two professionals disagree on a candidate's qualifications? What traits disqualifies a candidate? Etc., etc., etc.
Quite frankly, applying basic intellectual acuity levels to voters (ie: ability to change mind after being presented with facts proving their
"opinion/feeling" is dead wrong)...would serve our country much better.
Alas, neither will, nor should - ever happen.
The premise of the thread, is simply a not very clever attempt...at a backdoor 'P' fight.
