No, because anyone who gets there is:

i) Obligated to certain people, companies and vested interests who paid/helped him to get there


ii) Disconnected from the life of an ordinary American so cannot empathise or see what effective policy might be


iii) Has all the wrong priorities, for example they get briefed every day on terrorism but rarely about the effects of trespassing on civil liberties, so they think terrorism is far more important


iv) very ambitious and duplicitous as a personality type, in order to have the drive and ability to get there


v) almost always has a Law/History background, so can rarely see the value of good data
