It's not about any of that. If Neil deGrasse Tyson were to run for president, I would have my reservations as well.
He's really smart. He's not a spoiled brat. He might get support from the Obama's.
But would he be a good president for your country? I don't see why he would be.
Quick addition (edit): Don't get me wrong, being smart is important. But there are a shitload of smart people out there. And a shitload who are smart in different ways. And while I hope the US president will be smart, it is not enough to be smart to vote for someone.
Ugggg.....
It seems that even liberals want it the same way as conservatives.
We all want somebody new, and with experience at the same time.
If we don't want career politicians that would require new blood. And Obama ONLY had 3 years before he ran. McConnell sucked the dick of Andrew Jackson.
It amounts to picking your battles.
Obama had a law degree and was involved in state politics pretty much his whole adult life before being a senator.
McConnell is as experienced as his Turkey neck is frightening, but you just don't like him because he's a Republican and you don't like any of them.
