I scored Nikk Haley 55 points, which does not indicate a highly-qualified candidate for the US President or Vice President. Her character is flawed, as indicated by public waffling. Her education needs to be improved for the job, and while South Carolina accepted her job experience, the nation should not.

Ron DeSantis scored higher than most others using my approach. There is no doubt that he is a well-educated person, brilliant, and has excellent military experience. The trouble I have is ideological and his radical views and performance during the nation's pandemic. His alliance with the no-platform Republican party undermines his credibility.
