    I don't care what party you represent or what your platform is, I lose a lot of respect for anybody who has young kids and runs for president. You take away any chance of them ever having anything close to a normal childhood. What kid would want Secret Service around constantly? Can you imagine it being a matter of national security every time you wanted to go play with a friend?

    Plus you open them up to this kind of stuff. You know there are people who want to use them to push one agenda or another, and that's if you are decent enough not to use them yourself. Even if they are the smartest, sweetest most beautiful children in the world they are going to become punchlines.

    And all because you are either so narcissistic you think the world needs you to be president or so selfish it's a job you want at any cost.

    Well, there's little doubt he could count on a hateful left-wing "journalist" to do it.

    A Pulitzer-Prize winning Washington Post editorial cartoonist. Pretty sure she believes she's a "journalist" -- although she wouldn't like my use of quotation marks.

    Doesn't matter. The media as a whole should be above the muck politicians play in.

    Anyone who drags children into their political battles or justifies in any way doing so is a scumbag.

    As opposed to future history?

    I can't read your mind. I simply answered the question before me.

    Pollyannish nonsense.

    And I didn't think it was a good cartoon.
