Bob: "No, the other one."
Jim: "I give up! ... Oh wait, I think I got it! You mean that 65 million low-information voters who don't pay taxes and get free stuff from taxpayers and stuck us again with the most pandering, corrupt administration in American history?"Bob: "THAT'S THE ONE!"
---One, Obama's not even remotely close... corrupting is a measurable thing. The Grant administration was corrupt as heck, Harding too, James Buchanan was horrible, of course Nixon himself got impeached, and Reagan of all people has the most indictments and convictions of people in his administration. Obama's rates below GWB's, remember, Bush had Alberto Gonzales, a corrupt Attorney General for irony's sake (also more minorly but also ironically, GWB and Cheney themselves... had a scandal where they have a server they used to keep millions of e-mails, which they then destroyed. You know, a lot like Hillary's current scandal, only with destruction of evidence in the mix).
Obama's is not even the worst this century, and this century can't compete with prior centuries, GW Bush and Obama are saints compared to some of their predecessors.
Here is a list of federal political scandals, if you wish to compare. Now, some bits are subjective, who considers what worse is sometimes opinion, and it doesn't go into too much depth in the old ones, but it's not a bad place to check out.
Characterizing Obama voters as not-tax payers is lazy... and also overlooks that Obama-voting states tend to pay more into Federal taxes than they get out from Federal funding, while Red states tended to be subsidized by the same, ironically being the ones who get more free stuff.
And the above says a lot about who the real low-information voters are, if you can't even get the basics of your zinger right.
I could say that I took the "Liberal route" and was to lazy to read thru all that.
But I did read thru it.
It made me laugh.

Ideally, Trump/Carson would be the perfect ticket.
Ideal for whom, Democrats?
By all means, run a ticket with two candidates whom have never held public office for the highest public office in the land.
Nevermind that only three candidates whom have never held public office have ever been elected president, and all three were generals.
Neither Trump or Carson has any military experience.
Furthermore, run these candidates whom have never held public office against the presumptive Democratic nominee who is one of three candidates in history to serve as both a Senator and Secretary of State.
Marco Rubio said it himself at the Fox New Republican debate: "If this election is going to be a résumé competition, then Hillary Clinton's going to be the next president."

Oh wait I forgot Obama had military experience. And was a jr senator in office for 143 days that won by default.
Governors are elected president most, followed by Senators. Since neither Trump or Carson has any public office experience whatsoever, they would have to military experience to be competitive. Had they known that before they developed presidential aspirations, then perhaps they would not have invested so much energy in draft deferments.

Back up sneaky.
You just said Trump/Carson had no military experience.
Quit lying to yourself about Obama.
He had zero experience and according to you is the best president ever lived.

You are misinterpreting what he said. He said that candidates for the presidency to be competitive need to EITHER have gubernatorial experience, senatorial experience or military experience. Trump and Carson have neither of those. Obama was a senator.

I will argue that military experience is considered less important nowadays. Last race was notable in being the first that had two non-veterans running against each other.
Business experience is considered valuable, but it's usually viewed as a plus when paired with governmental experience. If Trump wins the nomination, he'll be the first to get the party nod on business experience alone.

It did not work for Mitt Romney, I do not see it working for Donald Trump, whose business credentials are questionable at best.
Mitt Romney was destroyed for outsourcing American jobs when he worked for Bain Capital.
The unsecured creditors, including the small businesses and contractors, who were not paid when Donald Trump defaulted on his debts four times to the tune of over $3.5 billion would call him a job killer. He got them to complete work for him and they did not get paid.
If he makes it to the general election, all the opposition has to do is trot out any of the people who lost their jobs or the businesses due to his bankruptcies in their ads, and his business credentials, the one thing he has going for him, is shot.
