He's running on his executive experience while demonstrating just what an executive shouldn't be. Fairly ironic, wouldn't you say?
He's anything but inspirational to his team. He makes one disastrous executive decision after another. He's not getting much bang for his buck.
I think he just thought he'd have a much easier time of it.
He made that mistake in the primaries; thinking he'd just cruise to the nomination. It looks like he's making the same mistake in the general. He seems to think that he can just buy it all without having to have a thought out path. To put it kindly, he's been all over the map on just about every issue and unprepared for the battle. Hardly the signs of an effective manager.

(71,611 posts)He couldn't MANAGE his way out of a wet paper sack. He has delivered neither a PRODUCT nor a SERVICE and has relied solely on entitlements to plunder labor equity, pensions, and borrowed cash while saddling acquired companies with debt or dissolution.
He's a VAMPIRE ... sucking the 'blood' out of companies and leaving them to die.
Years or decades of work by craftsmen and product-oriented labor is meaningless to Rmoney ... who'd be lost (or killed) on a shop floor.
He's even LESS skilled and experienced than Dumbya, which is saying something.

(71,611 posts)... at the INSANE discourse, led by the vacuous "pundits" of the MSM, which totally FAILS to distinguish between people in business with SKILLS in creating a PRODUCT or delivering a SERVICE and those in business who're totally devoid of such skills but know how to prey upon vulnerable businesses and rob and pillage them for whatever can be sold. They're nothing more than fences for stolen goods.
There are some REAL management and business skills having to do with craftsmanship, organization, training and development, and operational effectiveness. It's actually POSSIBLE to run a business profitably while treating employees as HUMAN BEINGS worthy of RESPECT, making a PROFIT, and giving the customers the best value for their money. (It requires a "win-win" attitude -- seeing good business as a plus-sum game.) Jim Senegal at CostCo is just one example. One of the reasons that Warren Buffet is a billionaire is because he KNOWS the difference. Buffet focuses on operational excellence (what we used to call "fundamentals" in those enterprises he invests in. Buffet has never been a vampire or vulture.

(7,960 posts)Seriously, I was expecting a well oiled campaign machine from him given his supposed managerial experience. I would imagine he had someone who really knew what they were doing at Bain and he was just the front man. Of course the nature of his business did not require the delivery of actual services and products so perhaps that might explain it.
