Al Gore was a military journalist in Vietnam for a tour while J.D. Vance was a public affairs journalist in Iraq for a tour. Each served a populist President and ran or will run for the top job after being Vice President. I believe Sect of State Rubio is a better quality candidate for the 2028 election, yet the V.P. does usually get an endorsement from the lame duck President. Neither has much awareness of ecological economics I would guess. Yet equally as important as knowledge of the vitral discipline is a political ability to get some measure of that mainstreamed as President. Those skills are obviously very difficult to find in a single individual in the nation.
Journalists have the lowest graduate records exams score of any academic major yet their ambition is perhaps near the top. I watched a news anchorman the other day say that cancelling the T.S.A. would be no big deal; everyone could take there gun aboard aircraft and defend themselves- yet what of the bullet blowing out a window at 40,000 feet lol?
It will be interesting to see who enters what might be a very competitive yet probably clean Republican President election cycle next year.
