What type of candidate can beat Trump?

Only a celebrity.... Oprah, Clooney. Heck even Alec Baldwin.
These dems are going to get smashed.

If that's true then let's just fold up shop and call it a good run. I don't want to be ruled by daytime talk show hosts and reality TV stars. That doesn't make any sense at all.

Regan at least explored state politics before taking on the role of President.

Working in the federal government actually requires skills that are pretty specific to the task. Trump doesn't have them. Oprah doesn't have them. George "pretty boy" Clooney doesn't have them.

Anyone who wants to be lead by a celebrity based on that factor to a large degree is a disgustingly stupid person.

Yeah I think you're overating political experience.
Life experience, an actual vision, a 'theology' of worldview and fundamental values... That is more important than the skills you are talking about.

You wanna know why Trump will win again ... it's not cause of who he is. That only enabled him the spotlight to share what he stood for. His message and views defending western civilisation and the crisis of confidence it faces in light of left-wing extremism and zealots from overseas are the reasons he won and will win again.

What life experience does being a celebrity give you?

I'll tell you what it gives you, a very unrealistic idea of what life is really like for the vast majority of people you seek to lead.

Being a celebrity is NOT a qualification for being a politician. In fact it is probably negatively qualifying. Celebrities are probably the worst possible choice to be our leaders.

Man. Are you misunderstanding me intentionally or have I made it unclear?

The celebrity provides the intial impetus and spotlight. A celebrity has the capacity in the media saturated world to have a soapbox that doesn't need to be earned. It exists as part of their celebrity.

If that celebrity then uses that position to turn 'fandom' and curiosity into a deep connection with the electorate - they can win.

It's not the only way to win. But in an era of 'draining political swamps' and congressional and MSM approval ratings in the 20s - you can see why the 'celebrities' you decry are more than capable of attaining the 'trust' of the masses.

I think it will be the downfall of our great nation if that's the path we take.

Liberal celebrities are no better than conservative celebrities in this regard.

I wish I had something stronger than a "Like" and a quote to offer. I wasn't fond of Reagan, Bush, or Bush, but they were qualified to be President and had done the hard work of learning statecraft.

Funny.

99% of Hollywood is liberal.

Celebrities = not good politicians and leaders(according to you)

So that must mean

Liberals do not equal good leaders and politicians.

I mean, it makes sense. Grownups detached from reality dont have a good sense of what works and what is realistic. And it makes perfect sense that Hollywood is 99% liberal.

Also, Donald Trump is 99% business man and 1% celebrity. He was doing business long before he had his show. So lets cut the crap and stop try to pretend that where he comes from.
