3. Can you guaranty he won't be in jail or under indictment or under investigation?

Wait....

Has he ever looked squarely into a camera and said sincerely, "I am not a witch?" Had demons cast out of him while in a church in Alaska? Been a secessionist or married to one?

Called a person of color a macaca? Distributed racist articles under his name, then claimed to have had no knowledge of them?

"Hiked the Applachian Trail," if you catch my meaning? Had his parents pay a bribe in violation of tax law to keep the husband of his mistress quiet? Heard on Saturday that his married intern had passed on in his office overnight?


I mean, there are certain things Republicans seem to look for in their politicians, especially those deemed to have Presidential potential.
