Running for public office [View all]

I considered running for public office but realized that I'm not a convicted felon. I don't have a drinking or drug problem. Only been married once. Don't cheat on my spouse. Not a racist. Not a misogynist. Not a bigot. I don't hurt children. I'm not a rich, white male with self esteem and anger issues.

Unfortunately, because of all those things, I came to the realization that the American people will never believe I'm qualified for the position.
