We need someone who is skilled in the actual act of governing.
This sounds too much like: "we need to elect an establishment politician".
I could be wrong. Matt may mean we need someone who has a good track record on the local and state level, which is fine, but finding a non-establishment politician with a track record on the local or state level is like finding a unicorn.
We CAN NOT compromise on an anti-establishment candidate. The enemy is the establishment, Democrat and Republican both, and I'll take a dozen Trumps, for all his faults, than one more George W. Bush or John McCain or Mitch McConnell.
