So, Dolly Parton won Thanksgiving.

34. I love Dolly, BUT...

...I do NOT like the idea of celebrities thinking they can govern or of voters just supporting them just because they like them. That's how we ended up with DJT. Governing is a SKILL and so is being a politician and both aspects of the job need to be treated that way. (This is why I do not support term limits) Having strong opinions, or a strong moral character, or a mouth that flap 190 mph (looking at you MTG and GYM) doesn't necessarily qualify one for the job. A strong moral character is important, but it won't be very helpful in a Congress that is deadlocked, for example. And if you can't get elected, how much governing is the candidate with good moral character going to be able to accomplish even if they have the other skills?

When we don't treat the office of the Presidency and other reps in the government with the respect that specific skill set deserves, we set our nation up for the three-ring circus we had during the DJT years and in our current Congress.
