Game Change- Zoe Lydon

Political vetting is extremely important while determining whether one is fit to run for office or not. It’s necessary for the sake of winning elections and for the sake of our country as whole. If people that are uneducated, unprepared, and not fit for office are elected to office, our government will not be properly run and our nation will suffer because of it. Political vetting is important for campaigns because if a party does not vet their nominee and the public exposes this, the party will most likely loose the campaign. This was shown when the McCain Campaign chose Sarah Palin to be Vice President without ensuring she is politically knowledgeable. She ended up contributing significantly to John McCain loss in the election. Political vetting is important to make sure the people we elect to office will do their job properly.


A POTUS or VPOTUS should not solely rely on staff for information because they were elected to provide opinions, guidance, and make decisions about political issues, and if they are uneducated on issues they can’t do that properly. It also extremely deceiving  to the public if a nominee pretends to well educated, when really only their staff is. It is morally wrong for someone unfit for office to pretend to be fit. To make logical decisions and represent our nation accurately the president must be able to answer questions and prove their knowledge about political and social issues. Currently our POTUS is unfit for office and should be more knowledgeable rather than rely on his staff.
