You are right about how to be on TV. I have claimed, for literally years, that we have Trump because he was entertaining. I remember when somebody who ran one of the shows said that he was a real money maker and people loved him and he would show him any way he could. Didn't surprise me then and doesn't surprise me now. The problem, when it comes to TV and Politics is that neither has a damned thing to do with whether they are going to be on TV. The only real way to get on TV is entertain, one way or another is to entertain, or otherwise attract others. We are closing into to an election so more are watching these days. They get to see both sides, etc. The simple fact is that the Republican side seems to be more entertaining, etc. The Democrat side just doesn't seem to care.

The Republicans have it down pat. Trump was first. He figured it out and now we have Trump. Folks love watching him and media loves showing him. He works for nothing (after his show), and loved being on TV. We basically have a Trump because media literally gave him to us! Hell, they are still doing it! My problem with it all is that I do not want him for President. We need the Democrats, and we are told they have the money. I would like the Democrats to figure out how to spend some of that that money to get some of theirs on TV and try to make Biden president.

So far I have seen a couple of instances but not enough. I don't understand the Democratic members of the House who just do not seem to be on TV or try to help their party help to get their candidate elected. Instead they seem to just doing their job. The Republicans, on the other side, are not interested as doing their job at all. They are only interested in making sure their Lord and Master, is treated correctly. When was the last time anybody has seen a Democrat even mention a Republican not not their job? The current crop of Republicans have done less than any other in the history of the nation - nobody mentions that either.

We live in strange and interesting times.
