Common sense drives the best and brightest away from public office.
Nobody who is properly equipped for the job actually wants it.
Those positions are filled by people with a desire for prestige, power, or wealth.
Only the unscrupulous have any chance at big wins, because they are the ones who with do 'whatever' it takes.
I don't think this vitriol will drive any of that type away, but it could have adverse effects on the few idealists in the mix.
They are generally ineffectual anyway though.
