    I’ve met the general public. They’re cool, but pretty easy to manipulate. I don’t think we want them in office.

      I’d rather an easy to manipulate person in office than an explicitly corrupt suit.

      But beyond that, wealth and prestige isn’t granted to people based on intelligence or capability. There are plenty of smart capable people that have had lives far more relatable to the average person.

      We have more than a few examples of idiot million and billionaires.
