Both parties long ago lost any moral authority to disqualify anyone based on marital infidelities, and alcohol abuse, so throw those criticisms out.
That leaves: lack of sufficient managerial experience (being unsuccessful with a non-profit is not reassuring), lack of experience with any type of high level strategy development, inconsistent and conflicting policy positions, and lack of any policy work or international negotiation. Oh yeah, there’s also the credible sex assault allegations (why else have an NDA?).
But then, “he fights”, and someone liked the way he looked and spoke on tv, so obviously he’s a highly qualified individual.
Indeed this is what the democrats should have been focusing on. They should have had all the facts and figures about his dismal performance at his previous jobs. They should have asked him about things like the size of organizations he has managed. Lets face it personal behavior especially abuse of women is a qualification in t***p's orbit.
"What America and the world saw today was not a serious examination of a serious man. Instead, Republicans on the committee showed that they would rather elevate an unqualified and unfit nominee to a position of immense responsibility than cross Donald Trump, Elon Musk, or the most ardent Republican voters in their home states. America’s allies should be deeply concerned; America’s enemies, meanwhile, are almost certainly laughing in amazement at their unexpected good fortune."

The next four years, along with the last ten, have been a national embarrassment. But it. seems America has lost any sense of shame, along with its ethics, morality, and integrity. Greed and selfishness, along with vulgar insults, lies, and threats will be written into the new constitution.
Let’s put the allegations of excessive boozing and assault aside, he has never run anything! Amazing.

Infidelity is a violation of the UCMJ, or used to be, so it becomes relevant for this appointment.
didn't Petreus get kicked out for an affair?

"...he has never run anything!" Except from responsibility.
He ran two nonprofit veteran organizations — badly and corruptly, from everything I've read.
And what degree of responsibility did he personally acknowledge?
'smears', 'smears', 'smears'
What a slimy weasel.
