It's not that they don't want to vote, it's that there isn't a candidate they want to vote for.

There has to be someone they are willing to vote for. Not necessary to vote for the main two parties.
Even if the one they voted for has no chance of winning this term, but if he sees that his third place or whatever, it will encourage him to run for next term and next term, until he builts enough support as an independent to win. Anything is possible.
It starts with votes to encourage the individual that you think is fit to run this country! Everybody should play a part in helping the one who they feel is suitable for running the country become President. It's like staying home and feeling defeated that the one you want is never gonna win, this is not gonna help encourage that person or help the goal of having someone you like come true. Regardless how slim their efforts may be. That is exerting whatever little power and privilege they have to put in their vote for their preferential person.

Do you know how hard it is to qualify for the ballot in each state? Research that one issue and you will understand why parties exist.

Or complement. I do think that sentiment was what she was going for, though it would be funny to see the running mate, go, "Great job! You're completely inexperienced!" [:D]

Right first time, I think. The first thing Trump would do is surround himself with minions who'll say things like, 'Wow, O Great Porcine Orange God, your stupidity and ignorance is just so *magnificent*!'

There's a superb principle behind this, which we should all remember and apply to all relevant occasions. For instance, the next time the pilots of an airliner are all incapacitated for some reason, the steward should get straight on the loudspeaker with 'Can the person who knows absolutely the least about aircraft please present him/herself urgently in order to land this plane?' With any luck they'll not only get a complete ignoramus, but one who also shows clear signs of major narcissistic personality disorder.

There would be no need to qualify for a ballot. It's a Federal election. Obviously, there will need to be lots of election reform laws. One would be that anyone that is qualified to run for President can do so. Another will be the way the field of candidates gets narrowed down. States would have to allow anyone running on the ballot (candidates to be listed in alphabetical order). Federal laws are primary, are they not?

Not a relevant comparison. How is this even relevant? Trump can hire the best advisors in every field to help him make the best decisions.

Flying a plane is a technical skill. Running a country is management skills.

Well these idiots http://www.livescience.com/43424-who-invented-the-light-bulb.html What audacity they had to even try with, with their inexperience! They should have just gave up and left us in the dark.
Such fools. All brilliant people start inexperienced. In fact people with great passion, care, and strength and yes healthy narcissism can actually surpass the experienced mediocre.
Your bucket has a hole in it and your arguments are losing water.

The motto of the story is all these individuals worked together to make what you enjoy today. Team effort!
