Political Reporters Cover a Business Candidate

The problem here is that you have to agree with the implied assumption of this article. That a business negotiator is superior to a political one and can move into a political landscape and use business negotiation tactics and win. Both systems and approaches have been around <i>forever</i> so I&#x27;m not comfortable accepting the implied assumption. Otherwise I suspect we would see it more often but the opposite usually happens. Great business leaders more often than not become lousy politicians because they don&#x27;t have the ability to coerce non dependent people to their POV.
