Fred reminds me of those past presidents from the 1700 and 1800’s you see in pictures. You find yourself saying
“Why can’t we have presidents like those again?” Did you see the Dem debate? I feel the world would laugh if any of those weaklings were elected, they all looked like pansies up there.

Warren G. Harding, a senator in early part of the 20th Century, was elected president almost solely because he looked "presidential." He had been a newspaper editor so he could clam some modest executive experience.

His administration is widely considered a disaster.

I prefer to elect substance and demonstrated executive competence.
