I don't think lifelong politician is bad in itself. We did try out someone without a political background, but all he managed to do was normalize racism.

My family lived about 15 minutes outside of Stillwater, OK. Thanks to DJT's rhetoric, my black in-laws only saw open racism and derogatory comments, because of both their race and religion.

I'll pick lifelong politicians over any candidate that wants to make me a third-class citizen.
