It is remarkable that the sum total of business experience of Hillary, Bernie, Marco and Ted is zero. All of the gang of four are career politicians. As first generation Marco and Ted didn't give business a thought but following in V.I. Lenin's footsteps took a law degree. So did Hillary and Bernie of course, yet Bernie was at least a track star.
From my point of view business experience is important for a politician running a free enterprise based economy. Lenin took a law degree and it was useful later in designing the new Soviet state. He was more of a Menshevik than Stalin allowing limited free enterprise in his NEP five year plans though Stalin of course probably liquidated him with poison and implemented autonomous state control.
The bureaucrat approach to economics requires substitute handlers that serve up their ideas from which the inexperienced lawyer must select and apply through legislative programs and committees to the workplace. The gang of four is experienced at that. Trump isn't.
Trump actually started in business while an undergraduate and was worth $200,000 before leaving college. He worked at revitalizing real estate. Trump worked at his father's real estate firm for a time, and prospered. His father Fred Trump lived until 1999. The Donald has quite a lengthy business history.
