Why would I want some unqualified person to be my President? Why?

Character.

(dont give me actor jokes)

No one is ever really qualified to be president. Also, you have people around you to help you, as well as the check and balances of the other branches of government.

I have no idea what their character is. They have never held public office so I can't know how they would act in that capacity. They have PR people who help to develop (manipulate) their public image.

I don't want actors to be President. That makes no sense to me. If any of them are serious about politics they should become a senator or governor and go from there.
 
If our next President is an actor then I fear that will become the new pool from which we draw our politicians. I think that's a horrible thing.

What's next, Jerry Springer for supreme court justice?

Idiocracy here we come!

You are acting like the people we have had already have been great because of their "qualifications" All we get is crooked people seemingly not working in the people's best interests a lot of the times.

I disagree that we don't know the character of Hanks and Denzel. They have been in the public eye for a long time. Not only have they not done anything reprehensible, but I think most people can just tell they are good people. Acting is fake, but its also a peek into who they really are.

Plus, can you just imagine the speeches they would give? It would probably give you chills down your spine every time they spoke. The country as a whole would probably get a long better too.

Just listen to Denzel's commencement speech, and motivational speeches.

Love this man. He is great man. I dont think he is a fake who is made by acting.

You need to understand just how big a role that celebrity and personal charisma play in presidential politics.

I'm sure we will take this advice as seriously as you take the advice of Democrats on who you should support in your own party.

If the dems are going to challenge in this election, they need someone who is fresh, energetic and charismatic -- someone who looks great, speaks eloquently, and "looks the part" of a president.

Of the 22 candidates, at least 16 fit that description.

Beto sounds Latino? Why is that?

It’s less Latino and more Western European. Spain and Portugal mostly. One could argue Spain is Latino but Beto is far more common in those two countries then it is central and South America.
 
I've always thought cultural diffusion was a norm throughout human history. The movement against "cultural appropriation" had always seemed out of whack to me, for that reason. I recall a few years ago, some university, I think it was on the West coast, but might have been Canada, eliminated yoga classes because people complained it was appropriation. JMO, but that seemed pretty foolish.
