From ESPN to the Oval Office – Is Stephen A. Next?

So apparently more and more people are seriously floating the idea of Stephen A. Smith for president. Yes, that's Stephen A. The man who once lost his mind on national TV over the Dallas Cowboys and now might be in charge of nuclear codes. Because nothing says Commander in Chief like yelling blasphemous at 8am on ESPN Tune. Let's just take a breath here. Stephen A. Has never held elective office, never passed a law, never managed anything beyond a hot take and a wardrobe full of pinstripe suits. He says he doesn't care about politics. He's more passionate about the Lakers than the legislative branch. And yet, here's the crazy part. He might actually be a stronger candidate than every Democrat currently thought about. Why? Because the man knows how to command attention. He moves people. He's a master communicator. He doesn't just talk, he performs. In today's political climate, being a great communicator isn't a bonus. It's what, the whole job interview. Forget governing skills, sad to say, can you go viral on Tuesday morning? Stephen A. Can and does. So, yes, the idea of him as president is ridiculous. But in a country that's already made a reality TV star Commander in Chief, this isn't satire anymore. It's strategic.
