If George Clooney was the democratic nominee, he would have won easily.
I've been thinking this for a while now. Nothing gets people more excited than a celebrity, and Trump is proof of that. Dems definitely need to fight back with a classically "alpha" seeming white male celebrity to fight back.
While I highly disagree with the concept of turning the office of president into even more of a joke by purposefully electing more celebrities, someone like Nick Offerman or Robert Downey Jr. Would easily be able to defeat just about any Republican candidate just on popularity alone.
Until education is fixed in America it's reckless not running a celebrity figurehead. This is the ugly fact.
