20. Teddy could have won the Republican nomination in 2016

If he had any spine, during one of the Republican debates, he could have walked over to Trump and just punched him in the face. Maybe twice, once for his wife the other for his father. That's what a "real man" would have done.

The GOP base would have loved it, Trump would have been finished and Teddy would have had a legitimate shot at the nomination by removing Trump.

Hitting the bully would have stopped him in his tracks and Teddy would've have shown he has a spine.

(Hysterical laughter ensues.)
