I have a short, simple special request. No more celebrity politicians – of any type. In either party or any party.
I heard that Kayne West was thinking about running for President. In the last couple of weeks I’ve also heard the following names seriously considering running – Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Kevin Hart, Katy Perry, Chris Rock, and a host of others.
I don’t care what ticket they are on, they have no business running for president. Being president isn’t a character slot to be filled. There’s no best actor award for president. There are people’s lives to consider. As much fun as it might be (or not) to watch some celebrity in a debate on any host of issues, it might be helpful if a type of warning label came on before the debates. Maybe something like “Warning: electing a celebrity can be harmful to everyone’s health.”
Please America, just don’t. Please Democrats and Republicans, don’t do it. I know it’s tempting and it’s all the rage right now. But for the sake of the children don’t do it. For the sake of my dog, don’t do it. For the sake of not sending me to the psyche ward, don’t do it.
Thanks.
Agreed 🙂

Good point, Matthew. There was one celebrity who had some success at being President–Reagan. However, he first gained political experience by being governor.

Which makes him a bit different than all these other candidates. He was a celebrity, albeit not a great celebrity. Definitely more remembered as a politician.
