i agree with some of what you're saying, but in america (and elsewhere) you don't necessarily need to be intelligent, talented or creative to become famous or in her case to be in a place of power where millions have to see her face and hear what she says.
all you need is luck, being in the right place at the right time, and be completely full of bullshit, and she certainly is.
To think that she was even considered a VP pick is crazy, and it's crazy how far her bullshit and appeal to the kooks in this country have taken her.
