        If an entertainer is qualified to be president, then surely scientists are qualified for office, too.

        But science uses reason and logic. The GOP can't have any of that. They haven't had either for a VERY long time.

        bullshit. Scientists need to do science, we need our "politicians" to be smart enough to defend them and science.

        I believe scientists can play both roles, and do a better job, than the current crop of career politicians.

        I agree-a trained monkey can do a better job than half of our current politicians. No offense to monkeys.
