How nice he can see the sky is blue, wouldn't make me give any value to his endorsement.

The only thing I'd endorse in this election is making better use of the day than voting for either of the presumptive political hacks. Personally, I'll go to vote against my state's incumbent governor and head to the beach.

Luckily there are other options.
There are no other options, you vote for Trump or the Clinton Crime Syndicate continues and America is finished.

We have yet to hear from other game-show hosts*. I imagine such opinions will be forthcoming soon.

Actually that is quite appropriate, since our GOP nominee's chief identity is as a game show host, and a bad one at that. The Democrats ought to be running Steve Harvey or Howard Stern against Trump.


Personally, I'd vote for Alex Trebek, but he's Canadian.

Great movie. And pretty much the only time I care what Ben Stein says.

"...It seems to me it is a testament to the complete collapse of education that people can have such preposterous policies as an end to free trade and think that’s going to help America. It’s just startling that: a) the candidates know so little and; b) that the voters have not been better informed about this. The American education system is in a state of freefall collapse so that certainly explains a lot,” he says..."

Ben Stein is cut from the same cloth as Paul Ryan and all the rest of the Republicans who know Trump is a dangerous idiot, but he's their dangerous idiot because he's got that (R) after his name, so they will vote for him anyway.

Yes, and thus his recommendations are worthless. You're just going to have to think for yourself.

Ben Stein also stated:

“If we are heading for a recession, he doesn’t know,” Stein said. “And there’s no way he’s going to fix it. Cutting taxes is not gonna fix it. Renegotiating trade deals with Mexico and China is just a way to start a gigantic recession.”

So which Ben Stein should we believe today?
