Do you ever see a single presidential candidate that is a scientist becoming president?

[Formerly Black Trash]

Tony stark would be the only one with a shot only because you know he'd run as a Republican

Robert Downey went to jail amd said the lesson he learned was to be a Republican


Fukk em

If they have charisma like bill clinton and obama they have a shot

The last President is often the polar opposite at least in terms of personality and characteristics so it could happen

Look at Bush to Obama

If he is charismatic & can get people behind him, yes.
But he would most likely become president DESPITE being a scientist, not BECAUSE of it.

previous job title doesnt appear to mean as much as what it once did so...

yeah if they have the right intangibles with the right platform at the right time? sure. just like damn near any one else.

Remember when al gore was too smart for people?

 

[Professor Emeritus]

There isn't anything special about being a scientist. If they have the drive, charisma, and connections, they could become president like someone coming from any other random job.

The biggest obstacle is just that few scientists are going to be fukking around in those circles, they usually too busy for that and focused on other priorities.


Angela Merkel has a PhD in Quantum Chemistry. She only did research science for 3 years after finishing her degree though.

Jimmy Carter had a B.S. in engineering and worked on a nuclear sub, then was going to grad school in nuclear physics when his dad died and he left to take care of the farm.

Currently 6 U.S. Representatives have PhD's in a science field.
