I don't care how large or successful the business you ran, it in virtually no way relates to running the government, either in scale, or power. A CEO can decide the business is going to take a new direction, and within a month his/her vision can be put into reality. In government there is no ability to that by oneself, unless you are FDR, and he could not do it today with the current D.C. environment.

First of all, you are correct in what you say about claims and promises to do anything, however it does ring a bit truer from someone who actually performed in the real world in some capacity, and not spent his entire life running for office of some kind.
Secondly, the most pressing need to your point, of our next president is to build bridges in Washington and create dialogue. Again, our current President has had three years and has failed miserably. He flat out stopped when he realized he could do what he wanted the first two years and THAT ACT OF JUST PLAIN NOT CARING...is what allowed the right wing tea party type folks to get elected in 2010 and destroy any chance.
Seems like a pretty easy choice to me on all your points. One is and has been NOTHING but a politician and the other a proven leader in a number of areas in his life.
One had a chance to build bridges and failed totally...the other has done that in a number of areas as well.
Nobody is perfect but this choice is easy and important.
