    Remember that most people in ‘the entertainment crowd’ actually have a college degree. It could be in poli-sci.

    Of course, Mr Clooney forgets how it went in 1968 when they switched candidates.

      I don’t find the degree to be any sort of credential. The degree could be in theater arts, which has no bearing on politics.

      I’d like to see your statistic of “most people”, and what sort of degrees they might have that are relevant to asking a candidate to drop out of a race.

      All that said, the real point is that someone who is an entertainer is using their public clout in a manner to attempt to influence a politician, or at least public opinion of said politician. As I said, I’m tired of entertainers mucking about in politics.
