A cocky entrepreneur with no political experience looks in the mirror and sees Trump 2.0. What could go wrong?
Donald Trump’s enablers know that history’s heroes stand on principle, but they choose cowardice over courage.Thanks to his polling gains, Ramaswamy will share center stage with DeSantis on Wednesday night in Milwaukee, when eight rivals assemble for the first, Trump-less Republican debate.

It’s certainly true that political experience does not guarantee a successful presidency. Yet political inexperience virtuallyfailure. Governing a nation of 330 million people and leading the free world is not for beginners. Of the five presidents who held no previous public office, three governed in the last century: Herbert Hoover, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Donald Trump. Hoover and Trump were defeated for reelection andever. Eisenhower was the exception to the rule and no wonder: He wasn’t really an amateur at all. He’d been the supreme commander of Allied forces in World War II, a job that required navigating politics in Washington and European capitals, not to mention mobilizing militaries on two continents.
