No. Besides the age and nationality requirement, there should be no other limit. The people should be able to elect anyone they want. The Trumpster, for sure, is a bad example, but we had other presidents without political experience like Eisenhower whose presidency wasn’t bad. On the other hand, political experience alone doesn’t prevent bad policies or problematic characters. Also: what counts as experience? Congress, Cabinet and Governors only? And how many years? Consecutive years? These questions are not to answer in a consensus.

No. Anyone who has a vision for being president or vice president should run. Including Donald Trump. He just had a better vision for America than Clinton, based on the Electoral College. America is sick and tired of the influx of immigrants and refugees in this country. It's asinine.

I'm going to amend what I said earlier.

Depending on how Trump runs his administration and the successes he has, then I'll make a decision about candidates needing political experience before running for President. He's either going to make a case for it or against it, by his actions. Let's see....
