It appears that each candidate is trying to outdo one another with their personal tragedies. Overcoming adversity is admirable, but overcoming someone else’s tragedy isn’t a reason to be president. This seems to be the 2016 version of “boxers vs. briefs.”
Yep. It’s totally stupid. Will bring them nothing but grievance from the media and won’t garner them 1 vote.
Yeah, it's a Presidential Campaign, not the Olympics!
I think it helps to humanize them and show that they understand what people go through. And that’s a big part of LIV mental processing - does the candidate understand my life? The Dems are automatically assumed to be human - the R’s have to work at it.
