[Daily Maverick] As a minimal definitional requirement, the script for a real-world TV series should be written well. If so, then a man who appeared as a wrestler on 'WWE' and has joked about grabbing women by their genitals could never be elected president of the US (nor would someone who did a cameo on 'Gossip Girl' be tasked with brokering peace in the Middle East). Such plot twists are the preserve of badly written soap operas.
