Haven't we had enough of reality tv people as politicians?

Spencer Pratt is currently 2nd of 14 in the running to become mayor of L.A. Now one of the Jersey Shore kids is thinking of running for governor. And what have we learned from electing reality TV hosts? Nothing.

1. Judge the person by their policy positions

Whether there were reality TV show host is irrelevant

2. I'd kind of like to see some experience maybe? Talk is pretty cheap.

And, lord - do we have an abundance of TALK ... From every corner and direction.

And further - thinking I'm kinda' going to reserve judgement on whether being a reality TV show personality - really says virtually nothing .. ? Do we feel the same way about former ICE agents, hedge fund managers, crypto coin promoters, conversion therapy practitioners .. ? Read their policy positions ?

3. Ironically, these reality TV people bring a lot of non-reality to the political game.
