BRENNAN: Do you think experience is necessary?
JIM HIMES: How far we have come that on a major news show the question we're examining is, 'is experience necessary for one of the most powerful positions in the land?' Of course it's necessary!...how is this what we're focusing on?
Torres: There’s a Turkish proverb that says, “If a clown goes into a palace, the clown does not become a king; the palace becomes a circus.” We’re witnessing the transformation of the American presidency into a circus, with Tulsi Gabbard as the potential Director of National Intelligence and Matt Gaetz as the potential Attorney General.
