12. He was an entrenched governmental entity

He was a lawyer who eventually joined the Navy (despite being a Quaker), was elected to the U.S. House, then elected to the U.S. Senate, then served as VP under Eisenhower for 8 years, and finally became President for almost 2 terms.

No one could say that he didn't have "Executive Experience", which eventually became the idiotic nasty talking point hurled at Obama.

Contrast with 45 who had ZERO government experience, neither civilian nor military - in ANY level or type of government... and didn't care, and the media shrugged.
