It takes a certain disposition to be president. Americans want strong charismatic leaders who have compassion, but who aren’t afraid to display a sincerely bellicose attitude at times.
Basically you need to be someone who could hug a baby and punch a baby, depending on what the baby did. Did it deserve or need love? Hug. Did it need to be punched back to the Andrew Johnson administration? Punch.
Luckily for us, we now know that just announced 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has literally fought children her whole career, at least according to a typo in a press release for HillaryPAC:
HillaryPAC had its first solicitation email out 18 minutes before the campaign’s own press release.
That announcement to reporters, perhaps finished in haste, included an embarrassing mistake in the omission of a key word.
Hillary, it said, has ‘fought children and families all her career.’
Maybe that explains all the babies and kids in her announcement video. She was sizing ’em up for a punching.
Good for her. Harry Truman would punch a baby. As would Lincoln. That is good company to be in.
