        He assumes that law school or 2 years in the Senate provide assurance of competence a celebrity can't have; not persuasive

        problem with "competence" is that competent democrats lost 1000 elected offices in the past 6 years

        the election is a popularity contest, there is a reason why we aren't talking about President Elect Jeb Bush
