Which candidate is the scrappiest, toughest, put the screws to 'em, kinda politician?

[anarch]

17. sometimes I'm tempted to think we should just say "fuck it" and embrace the wrestling shit

you know, just nominate someone based on their ability to stand on a stage with dipshit and talk trash in the same WWE kind of style that seems to appeal best to the rubes of the world. And/or have an intimidating, even menacing physical presence to the extent that the orange one would be actually viscerally frightened to have to confront this person.

Even better if they could also articulate the Democratic platform in a way that would get across to more plain-spoken folks. I mean, what the hell happened to unions? (wait I know the fuckin answer to that one, nevermind) How is the actual party of the working class seen by so many of the working class as being elitist, coastal, out of touch with ordinary working folks, etc.?

Meh I don't know, I'll vote for whoever the party nominates, obviously. In my opinion the office of president should be seen more as a spokesperson role, with far less power to modify legislation that's been duly passed by Congress than the situation we have now. I would like a functional government, not a fucking clown show.

But yes I agree in general that whoever we choose should be someone who does not back down from a fight, and who can articulate the righteous anger that I think a whole lot of us share at this point.
