    Once upon a time a weird yell “disqualified” you from running for president…

    What a quaint time.

      If you’re a Democrat, literally anything or nothing at all can disqualify you.

      Would it though?

      A woman at an Adlai Stevenson rally said, “Governor, every thinking person will be voting for you.”

      Stevenson replied, “Madam, that’s not enough. I need a majority.”

      Eisenhower beat him in the election. Because Eisenhower might have been smart, but people voted for him because he was famous.
