The GOP does not need to promote a ‘movie star’ candidate. We need a mature, former Governor with Washington experience and military credentials. Anyone fit the bill??
Tired of the ‘hollywood’ celebrity types the Dems promote. We don’t need to follow the sheeple approach.
Rubio is being prepared & groomed, but he needs more time.
I’ve always shared that opinion, but my view is changing. I think the presidency is moving into a new era, given the presence of so much media, Internet, and the presence of YouTube and other video. I think the presidency is evolving into more of a spokesman role. Media savvy and great appeal is the way to get elected. The presidency is such a big role, it is more about the team implemented. The spokesperson goes across the realm from news to entertainment and pulls the masses in to get their support. The ads of an occasional Sunday talk show by a candidate or president is over. It is about getting on morning radio, Internet videos, appearances at sporting events and more. The average joe doesn’t tune into the news anymore. It is 100% about media appeal. If that intersects with a two term governor, all the better, but governing experience and time in office is less important than at any time in history.
We will soon see the likes of Cory Booker and Mayor Castro from San Antonio skyrocket to the top of their party past guys like Cuomo for the same reason. The voter doesn’t give a crap about expertise, achievement, or military experience.
