- We see them (celebrities) more and more Infront of us
- 1960 between Kennedy and Nixon first time debates were televised
- Social media makes politicians just to have to get connected to the people
- We shouldn’t just listen to celebrities in politics
- I talked about Kanye West and how when he said he was running for President a lot of people just instantly said they were going to vote for him because his name not what he says. That is how celebrities ruin politics because people want to do a background check
