      Please stop pushing celebrities to run for office. Especially sokething as high up as a Senate.

      Cmon he would make a great politician. Who doesn’t love Patrick Dempsey?

      He has been a healthcare advocate for some time.

      He’s a righteous dude.

    3. Patrick Dempsey aside, the underlying story makes me furious. NOT because the candidate is being forced to resign (although there is a possibility the accusations are politically motivated and he deserves a chance to defend himself), but because a Republican candidate in a similar situation would never resign. This makes me recall the Al Franken « scandal », which ended his career, but which seems like a giant nothing burger in comparison to the confirmed behaviour of the current president and his cronies.

    4. He’s just going to sell us all out to the deceptions. Don’t trust him!

    5. I think that’s where we’re at. Name recognition. No politics as usual. Sod it. Anyone can run, just say you’ll surround yourself with smart people who know how to game the system. You’ll make sure it gets done.
