Education has nothing to do with experience. I’ve known plenty of PhDs who may have been brilliant in their area of expertise but were hopelessly lost in the real world. Similarly, Schlossberg may be a brilliant lawyer (with no experience that I know of), but that does not automatically make him a viable candidate for the U.S. Senate.

Frankly, I don’t know a whole lot about Schlossberg, but the few videos I’ve seen of him made him look like an immature goofball. What really bothers me, however, is the assumption that a scion of a historic political family is given a leg up to aspire to political office irrespective of their personal qualifications. Maybe Schlossberg would be great, but he needs to prove it.
