I know I wouldn't hire someone that claims to be a Marine and threatens to murder fellow citizens because they disagree with his politics. I can see where hiring the politically connected trust fund scion from Harvard may have advantages over a fly-over schooled kid that worked his way through college. The scion probably vacationed (can it be called vacation if you never actually worked a day in your life?) at the right spots and knows the right people. The trust fund kid probably interned at one of his parent's companies or a USAID grift charity.
Democrats always put rules like these in place to come into effect after they've left office.
