Will America choose one of their own to be The President of the United States?

So, I would like to know what people think, seriously, about if one of our peers wanted to run for President?
Say a teacher, or a stay at home mom, a construction worker, average joe, etc.
If someone has the passion for the job, is that enough?
What would it take for you, as an American, to vote for the underdog?
Or..
Do you feel America is better off in the hands of the politicians and government?
All opinions wanted.
Lets get talking!

Well, Donald Trump isn't exactly a politician. He's just an average American with a lot of money and a lot of wind to blow.

Most people would not. They need an officially approved person by the party of their choice. Me... yea. I would. I don't care how much money someone has, their experience, their connections, their popularity. Anyone that I feel would do a good job I would vote for.

Well, strictly speaking, anyone who runs is a citizen. I get your point, though.
It would depend on your values, I guess. A conservative would want a banker or someone in the financial world to run. Liberals would want social workers, teachers, firemen, etc. to make a run for it.
That being said, I think this disastrous presidency has shown that you actually have to have some knowledge and experience in government in order to be successful. I think we should stick to electing people who have experience. I've heard names from Oprah to the Starbucks CEO thinking about running for President. NO THANK YOU. Stick to your day jobs. It isn't as easy as it looks!

Thanks for getting what I was saying, I should maybe correct that.
I agree that we need to have someone who has some experience to run the country, but I would also like to see a fresh face with some new ideas on how we need to conduct ourselves as a society and community.
The people they try to shove into the position would not be fit, our politics need to get our of entertainment and back to the people. :)
