I thought electing an outsider with theretofore no experience nor interest in governing was supposed to break the system in a good way so as to erase the incumbent problems and rebuild with common sense and integrity.

Giving someone without common sense and integrity unchecked power is probably not a good way to obtain common sense and integrity in your government.
