I bet dollars to donuts that George Clooney runs for President after Hillary has her run. He’s probably not as stupid as Trump, but I’m not sure he’d be my pick for the office. But he’s a celebrity, a bunch of people would vote for him for no other reason.
I think there should be testing, for sure. Let’s test the candidates. Before you can run, you have to pass a rigorous government exam. Before you can accept any contributions, you have to sit before a panel, uncoached, and present your dissertation. Let’s weed out the idiots on THAT end and let the people have their say.
Remember, just because liberals tend to view themselves as the educated, a lot of Democrats in general are just as dumb and uneducated as their Republican neighbors. You don’t want to alienate that whole voting block with voter qualification tests.
