1. The economy initially took a nosedive under George Bush (social and fiscal conservative, also a "businessmen"). Maybe he should've done a better job of keeping it running, and if he had the Republican party could've held onto the White House?

2. Private industry is a very, very different game from public administration. "Businessmen" skills don't automatically translate. I'm not saying they can't be helpful in improving efficiency, but certain things that government provides (parks, transportation improvements, regulations, expanding communications, public goods in general) make no sense in profit-earning terms. So I don't think there's that much of an inherent advantage in having a "businessman" running the country, especially since historically, their record is mixed.

3. There aren't just two parties/candidates out there. Gary Johnson, as a Libertarian, is socially progressive and fiscally conservative; if you wanted to vote your conscience, that's a valid alternative that wouldn't have screwed anyone over.

But look, Romeny-voting anon, don't despair. The Democratic party (and the fact that it's only really got the Executive branch and half of the Legislative) isn't going to be able to get much done. Y'all will get your chance again, if you maybe smarten up about treating minorities like crap and stop it with the rape stuff.
