Okay so let me see if I got this straight now, working in politics doesn't count toward being a "career politician", holding elected office doesn't count toward being a "career politician" but getting paid for working in politics DOES count toward being a "career politician" , but wasn't Reagan a paid staffer on the Eisenhower Campaign in 1952?OIC, so it's not working in the politics (as Reagan started doing in the late 40's) that counts it's holding elected office...... Wow this whole "career politician" equation is more complicated than I thought.Er.. Um Reagan started working in politics at the age of 37 (as a New Deal worshiping left winger no less) and spent the next 40 years in the field so he's got Kasich beat on the years of political experience front; and FYI Kasich worked in the private sector @ Fox News, Lehman Brothers and working on the boards of several other companies for 8 years.... so the difference between "career politician" Kasich and "not career politician" Reagan still remain unclear.36 years is obviously enough, especially when you're only 63. That means he was 27 when he first went into politics. A paper route was probably his only private sector job.So how many years do you Republicrats figure a person has to spend in politics to become a "career politician"?
Reagan didn't become governor of California, his first elective office, until 1967. since he was born in 1911, that means he was 56 when he started in politics, not 27. In other words, he was more than twice Kasich's age.
So by this new calculus, Karl Rove isn't a "career politician" because he's never held elected office?
"Working in politics" isn't a career unless you are getting paid. That means holding office. Rove is getting paid for what he does. Reagan didn't get paid for being president of the screen actors guild.
Yes and Kasich also worked in the private sector (i.e. he held a "real job") so why is he a considered a "career politician" by many Republicans and Ronald Reagan isn't?What about Ronald Reagan ? I thought Republicans liked him, Wasn't he a "career politician" (Governor turned President)?This country has tried career politicians for a better part of 100 years, all epic fails.... Lol
Nope. A career politician would be like those in Congress who never held a real job in their life. Ronald Reagan was an actor and union president.

He's been a politicians since 1979. That's 36 years, practically a lifetime.
Actually it's perfectly clear to me, it's a matter of completely subjective semantics, both Reagan and Kasich are/were career politicians by any reasonable definition of the phrase, 'twas entertaining and proves my theory that people will attempt to twist themselves into logical tesseracts in order justify their support for bizarre candidates like the Donald for elected office.Er..

Apparently, the difference is only unclear to you.

Uh-huh and then he was President for another 8 years ....... feel free to use a calculator if you need to.Actually it's perfectly clear to me, it's a matter of completely subjective semantics, both Reagan and Kasich are/were career politicians by any reasonable definition of the phrase, 'twas entertaining and proves my theory that people will attempt to twist themselves into logical tesseracts in order justify their support for bizarre candidates like the Donald for elected office.Er..

Before being president, Reagan held office as governor of California for a total of 8 years.
OICThat's simple math, not semantics.

X + Y = 1 unless of course X + Y = 0 supports my "argument" .... in which case X + Y = 0 ..... must be that new common core math everybody loves so much.
