QUALIFICATIONS ARE FOR LOSERS!

QUALIFICATIONS ARE FOR LOSERS! If nothing else, Donald Trump 's alleged election as President of the United States certainly indicates that the old term, "qualification for office," is a canard, now overrated! Stated differently, If any American over age 35 can be President of the most powerful nation on earth, without any kind of qualifications, whatsoever, then, qualifications as a customary category of exclusion in most forms of American work, less than that, also are bogus! As a former labor and employment lawyer, I have often had to face the bevy of "greater qualified" defenses set forth methodically by many discrimination defendants, whom I was suing, in federal or state courts, both as a government lawyer, and as a solo practitioner. Here too Donald Trump breaks the mold, being one of many thus far!  "Qualifications are for losers," he may say, or may have said already !
