OK, I'm already sick of this election $#!+ and there's nearly a year of it to go yet.

I don't care if it's federal, state, county or local, this idea covers them all. First off, no one should WANT to be in politics, I say treat it as a duty (like a draft) that rewards no one involved, except to serve their time and get the hell home. Existing Constitutional rules would apply such as citizenship, age, etc.

Some more rules:

1. 18+ years only.

2. Minimum high school education.

3. Must speak English.

4. No past involvement in politics.

5. Probably more that I'm too lazy to type.

So now all you do is draw random SS#s to pick the selectees (of course regionally appropriate).

Can't be any worse than what we've had in my lifetime.

Feel free to add suggestions.

1. 35+ years olde with no criminal record of violence against people or property.

Otherwise, it makes sense here.

Well, that'd knock Hillary! out now.

Otherwise, it makes sense here.

What got me thinking about this is the unprecedented idea of the GOP going against Trump who would be a sure-fire winner (even though maybe not a good President, his billions scare me).

I'd sooner vote for your doggies before someone who WANTS to be prez.

No lawyers. None at all, inc. supreme ct.

Minimum wage salary for term, no pensions, no healthcare.
