I’ve been trying to think of an individual who could run for President absolutely invulnerable to smear or scandalization. Guess who I came up with?

Asked by stanleybmanly (24153points) December 4th, 2019 from iPhone

How about Mr. Rogers?

Bob Ross, if he was alive could possibly be impenetrable.

cookieman's avatar

Fred (and Bob) are both dead.

Hell, if Jesus were to come back, they would throw racial epithets at him, and accuse him of being a secret muslim.

@rebbel Nope, raving liberal, as is her besty Gayle.

@KNOWITALL So being liberal is a “Nasty“and therefore (the fact they’re absolutely invulnerable to smear or scandalization) are not qualified ??

The question was about not making the front page of the Enquirer not their political leanings.

There is no such person. Even if a person were totally clean in all ways, the republicans or the russians (who are really one and the same) would find a way to smear the person.

No such thing. Mr. Rogers would be accused of being gay or a pedophile, as has been done before. Some people would believe it. It doesn’t have to be true to be believed.

Nobody no matter how lily white could be invulnerable to trumped up charges against them. Just look at what they did to Brett Kavanaugh, that kind of wrath can and will be brought against any candidate anytime including our beloved Mr. Rogers.

“I like beer” Kavanaugh ! LOL

He’s on Trump team for avoiding infractions and skipping subpoenas during impeachment proceedings

I’m not sure Fred Rogers would pass eligibility requirements on account of being dead. Although, being alive doesn’t actually seem to be a requirement. Hell, Nevada elected a dead pimp to its state legislature, so there’s that…

I’ll suggest my old classmate Tom Hanks. His reputation as the world’s nicest guy is deserved.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Tropical_Willie Sigh. That’s not what I said.

Oprah has ties to Weinstein, on the flight logs, among other things.

@filmfann
But Tom Hanks is a environMENTAList libtard shill and democRAT supporter!

“Nope, raving liberal, as is her besty Gayle.”

@KNOWITALL ^^^^Your exact words to @rebbel post “Oprah” ^^^

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Tropical_Willie I didn’t use the word nasty that you put in quotes.

If you don’t think being part of Weinsteins gang is a bad thing, write her in, no one cares, she’s old news.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Operative word @KNOWITALL “liberal” that is your word, “nasty” is my word for you lashing out at any liberal !

Jons_Blond's avatar

Trump was a part of Weinsteins “gang”. Just sayin’.

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Tropical_Willie Me lashing out? I just answered a question.

@Jonsblond Yep.

“It doesn’t have to be true to be believed.”

The only statement that seems to count these days.

I always thought Mr. Rogers, was a homosexual pedophile…

Donny Osmond

LadyMarissa's avatar

As much as I love Donny, I’m sure that he has a few skeletons in his closet!!!

ucme's avatar

That’s the rest of the family hiding in there, lost a ton of weight mind lol

Mister Rogers might be admired by the Scandinavian countries, the Netherlands, and possibly Canada, but the rest of the world would see him weak on the world stage and the U.S. as vulnerable.

Republicans would not pass Mister Rogers through the primaries because he would have a weak stance on the military and immigration.

The majority of Americans would probably feel vulnerable militarily.

Democrats would probably like his economic policy ideas if they gave him a chance, but he has four strikes against him: he’s Christian, male, pro-life, and white—and they would accuse him of being a pedophile and he’d be laughed / booed out of the primaries. Imagine the Jimmy Kimmel / Steve Cobert jokes. Besides that, would Mister Rogers want to stand with that crowd?

@Jonsblond Trump was a friend of the Weinstien / Epstien / Clinton cabal? I think not.

It would be on the news every hour on the hour, and every time any of them were mentioned.

elbanditoroso's avatar

Once again, @Yellowdog you are wroing

Nice try

KNOWITALL's avatar

@Yellowdog No better or worse than the Clintons that I know of, but yeah, he knew the guy socially.

MrGrimm888's avatar

Most of the people suspected of wrong doing, are tracked by air travel, to his island. Not by pictures…

Jons_Blond's avatar

Yes, there are pictures there of Weinstein and Hillary and Weinstein with Obama as well. Trump is the one with history with this man. Trump is also the only one out of the three, Obama/Hillary/Trump, accused of over two dozen rapes and assaults. I’d say he has a lot in common with Weinstein.

Vignette's avatar

This Pic of Billary with Epstein on Epstien’s plane is not doctored and look at it quickly as it will be scrubbed by Google soon enough.
