Celebrity Trumps All ('21)

In the Los Angeles Times, Nicholas Goldberg wrote a column headlined "Caitlyn Jenner for governor of California? What a terrible idea"

My immediate response was one I've written about before. I sent it to the Times. They edited it slightly (adding "Donald" and "so"), and printed it today (second letter on the page):

When Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor of California, long before Donald Trump was president, I lamented, “Celebrity trumps all, so how can we overcome that?”
 

“Celebrity trumps all” is still the case, and I still don’t have the answer.
