re: #693 debutaunt

It will continue to get more difficult to find normal people who will go into politics.

Hopefully, we’ll never choose ordinary people, we need exceptional leaders, not someone we’d just like to share a beer with.
I think the GOP is suffering from the “Just like me POTUS” syndrome, with a touch of anti-intellectual bias. Reagan was not ordinary, far from it. Like Palin, he was popular, but had much more substance. Not to mention, he could inspire us with his speeches, not make us giggle.
