And that is a big reason Trump won. He was on TV 14 years before he ran. Other than Clinton nobody else had nearly the exposure he did.
When other celebs run they almost all win:
Al Franken
Jesse Ventura
Sonny Bono
Clint Eastwood
Arnold S.
Reagan
and so on
the other night Maria Carey flubbed a song. And there was major coverage all over the media, NY times, Washington post, CBS, ABC, etc. How do you explain that coverage for a flubbed song on TV? Because she’s a big name celeb.
Slow news day?
No dude, it’s more that the political class in the USA is a worthless adjunct of the owners of capital.
Really, what is the point of votig for a Wall Street front.
At least Carey has actual talent unlike a lot of celebs. You probably know which ones I refer to with no or little talent .
The list of celebs who’ve run for office and lost is a much longer list.
**America is all about celebs now **
Then why isn’t Kris Jenner aka Kardashian our new president?
She’s got the babes, the booty, and a bombastic, load mouthed, egomaniac for a son-in-law who is also Trump’s friend, who controls his Kanye West mouth even less than The Donald.
The Kardashian/West administration will be huge in 2020. They apparently own the content of TV and several magazines just by showing their butts. They do not need donors beyond the sperm.
Be careful what you wish for. I could a tale unfold whose lightest word would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood.
