As far as I'm concerned "makes good decisions" is a better qualification than "made a career out of running for office"

And how does one typically get good enough at a job to "make good decisions"? And how would you know if they would "make good decisions" in that job?

Not being so power hungry as to choose politics as a career thereby losing touch with the rest of society is a damn good start

If they've held office before then you'll know from their track record what they are like without needing to trust the campaign trail blather.
