Some friends and I were discussing this and we came to the conclusion that going forward, presidential candidates need to be already famous as a performer of some sort. Like Zelensky. Like Reagan. Like Trump. You don't shoot a big-budget movie with unknown actors. You need star power.

Possibilities:

* Al Franken (but he shot his wad)

* John Stuart ( too lefty?)

* Steven Colbert

* Neil DeGrasse Tyson

* George Clooney

* Taylor Swift

* Steph Curry

* Dwayne Johnson

* Matt Damon

* Leonardo DiCaprio (too short?)

* Queen Latifah

You get the idea. Question is, why would any of these celebs put themselves through a meat grinder when they already have great careers? Has to be because they love the US and are willing to put themselves on the chopping block.

Thoughts?
