What a meathead asshole Rogan is. Tucker too.

    Respectfully, no. We don’t need more media personalities running for office. It’s too much of a popularity contest as it is. Jon Stewart is intelligent and cares deeply about his chosen issues, but that doesn’t mean he’d make a good (or willing) president. Tucker Carlson is just a boob.

    I want a boring-ass presidential candidate with good solid policies and a willingness to take the long view (as in what’s best in the long term for the country, not necessarily what will get them re-elected). I don’t care if they’re cool or charismatic.

      Sadly elections are a popularity contest so being an already known media personality is a massive head start over someone eminently qualified and capable, but unknown. If we have to pick a media personality, I’d go with Stewbeef.
