Bush had six years as governor of one of the largest states. That's "experience". Cheney was a congressman, White House Chief of Staff and Defense Secretary. That's "experience". Richard Nixon was a congressman for six years and VP for eight years. That's "experience".
At this level, experience is overrated. It's what the candidate says and how he says it that counts for much more.
Very arguably. Some might say that Trudeau took a great country with a strong post-war economy, little sense of the nanny-state, strong military, and a strong connection to its Franco-Anglo cultural roots, and turned it on its ear, introducing massive unprecedented (even during wartime) deficits, tearing the heart out of the forces, shoved the idea of the nanny state onto everyone, drove a stake through the cultural roots and alienated entire regions of the country.Arguably the greatest leader of this country in modern times, Pierre Trudeau, had less than three years of parliamentary experience when he became prime minister.
