Here's an opinion which seems to have gone out of fashion. Maybe - just maybe - the leader of the nation should be someone who is clearly very intelligent and capable. Someone who has a lot of knowledge about the world, and a track record of being able to communicate that knowledge in a way that can be easily understood. Does anybody fit that bill better than Neil deGrasse Tyson?
Look at the positions and roles that Tyson has held over the years, and the qualifications he's achieved. He's a cosmologist and astrophysicist. He's a gifted writer and public speaker. Many Americans have learned more about science from Tyson than they ever did when they were at school. Tyson could campaign on the promise of better education for everybody and the furthering of our understanding of the universe. He could lead a new golden age of science.
