    It doesn’t matter how good you are at a job if you can’t get hired.

    The most important quality of any presidential candidate is being able to win a convoluted popularity contest.

    So we need to look at people that fit that criteria, then find a good candidate. Not find someone who would be a good president, that’s the easy part, there’s a shit ton of people who could be a good president like Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho, he didn’t have to be smart, just be popular and listen to a smart guy who told him what to do.

        Exactly.

        They do not have the experience or necessarily even the qualities required to win a popularity contest on that scale.

        So I’m saying we find an empty suit that is good at winning popularity contests then listen to the party leaders in the House and Senate, since they’re the ones with decades of political experience, and I was about to write “and they write the laws” then remembered it’s mostly lobbyists and think-tank employees these days writing legislation.

        But that’s a whole nother issue.
