The whole problem with that scenario is that people would be evaluated based on their ability to give a two-minute speech rather than their ability to govern.

It might be controversial to say this but television has done a great disservice to the democratic process, in my opinion.

I agree 100%. Recently read thru all the Lincoln-Douglas debate. The level of intelligence and eloquence was just astonishing after watching our “debates.”
