You always kinda forget that Jerry Springer was the Mayor of Cincinnati at one point in time. Hell he even became mayor after that prostitute scandal. How many people can honesty pick themselves up after a thing like that? Jerry Springer in Politics isn't such a strange thing when you look at his past and when you see what has happened to America today with Trump.
He'd be better than Kasich, but that's not much of a bar. A pet rock would be better than Kasich because it wouldn't make shit worse.

Berry. As a council member, Springer always seemed to get attention. Wearing bell-bottom blue jeans, he spent a day working with a garbage collection crew, hauling cans from the curb and dumping the trash in the back of the truck.The Democratic Party took notice and ran 26-year-old Springer for Congress in 1970 against four-term incumbent Republican Donald Clancy. Springer, an Army reservist, ran on an anti-war platform. Instead of being a sacrificial lamb, Springer got 45 percent of the vote in the heavily-Republican Second District.
