re: Is the system we use to hire presidents broken?

I get at least 2 texts a month right after tax invoices are sent out because I always pay a few months after the full payment due date. I just throw the invoices in a stack and pay them when I get the urge. I guess these companies who send the texts scour tax tolls hoping to find properties in distress and people desperate enough to get bent over.

If the primary results in a choice between two octogenarians both of which will have likely been impeached by that time then yes the system is broken.
However that is a reflection of a broken society rather than the system per se. Garbage in garbage out.

Our hiring system seems to give too much weight entertainers rather than competent executives.
I’d argue it’s not the system, or the entertainment fixation that’s broken, but the emphasis we place upon the importance of the central government over the state which indicates the real broken system here. It’s the fact of how much power and control was handed over to the Feds over the years which has broken us all, and eventually driven this union of “states” to fiscal ruin and indebtedness, the likes of which we will not only never pay off, but will eventually and inevitably drive our currency and our own economy and way of life into an irreparable end, and sooner rather than later.
The mere fact that Washington fights like cats and dogs over how much of an over taxed people’s money goes to this project, or that dependency, or foreign nation, or war rather than being responsible for simply operating the basic infrastructure of the federal government for the benefit of the varying states is the real issue.
Think about this. We spend billions on money for foreign wars we aren’t even in, billions more to foreign governments in aid, and can’t even protect the very states from being invaded, something very clear in the government’s constitutional mandate to do so. What’s that say about what has happened to the federal government in its relationship to the states that its only purpose was to serve the interests of said states? It says that it is BROKEN. It says that it serves the interests of foreign countries, foreign interests, politicians and powerful people’s own personal interests, but it doesn’t give a flip about the interests of the states.

But I’m in zero financial distress with a credit score consistently over 800.

We're gonna have a choice between two elderly senile assholes, so yeah, something is broken.

You don't need to change all of society, you just need to limit the selection committee membership to the better part of the society's curve.

I hear you. I’m saying that if you are late paying your taxes on a piece of property they see that as a potential target. Maybe this person is struggling financially and we can get the property at less than market value. I am just using my case where my properties in Colorado and Arizona have a full payment due date sometime in April or split into two payments six months apart. I always put them in a cabinet to eventually pay and usually pay in full sometime in July or August. I usually get hit the hardest with low ball offers in May, June, and July. I just figure they can see that the taxes are unpaid and use that as an indication I might be an easy mark for a low ball purchase prior to the properties going to the courthouse steps for auction at the end of the year.

I had to drive several hours by myself today and was thinking about this question.
Is it really the voters we need to scrutinize or do we need requirements for the actual candidates?
I thought of a lot of qualifications for president but one of the main ones was being able to do well on college-level tests on economics, poli-sci, US history, civics, and geopolitics for example. POTUS is not the place for OJT regarding the basics IMO.

Sounds good, but at what schools, what professors, what standards for those courses?
Too much subjectivity I think.
