I don't watch reality TV shows in any way, shape or manner. But that said, politics, particularly American politics, is the only field where lack of experience and knowledge is actually a benefit.
How'd you like to take a trip in an airliner piloted by someone who, after engine start, came on the intercom and said, with pride "good morning folks, this is your captain speaking. For the record, I've never piloted an airliner before. In fact I've never flown anything bigger than a 4-seat Cessna." Or worse yet--"I've never even been inside an airplane before"
Or how about having surgery on your brain done by someone who tells you "I've never done brain surgery before"?
The problem with politics is what I call "the baseball syndrome". The rules of baseball are pretty straightforward, and any kid can play. But if you do it for a living you'll learn quickly that it's very hard, and is anything but child's play.
Politics is similar to baseball in that it only LOOKS easy!
And let's not forget that for most of their adult lives, our 3 greatest presidents (Lincoln, FDR and Washington), were essentially professional politicians
It’s like the Beverly hillbillies all over again. Love your commentary. Bubblin’ crude, Texas tea, Jed get yer gun, Ellie Mae where’s your dress, jethro get out of that cement pond.
Please your statement about T making a credible path to politics for reality show hosts. T was nominated by fascists, paid for by billionaires, voted for by racists, and is destroying our democracy and the world economy. Even though many voters who did not vote for Harris showed incredible ignorance and a refusal to accept the responsibility that comes with voting, I still cannot believe that another celebrity like T will ever find a path to politics and the presidency - assuming we get the chance to save our democracy.
