Should there be a test given candidates running for President?


Perhaps given before the first debate they participate in on TV?

Like the GRE or SATs?

Unfortunately, I'd imagine even Bush could have passed one.

But TRUMP? No way! I think it would have saved us!!!

Or get them in a tournament with Alex Trebek -- Would love to see Trump on Jeopardy! "American History for $20, Alex"   "Sorry, Donald, the war between the states was North vs. South, not East vs. SOUTHWEST."

I will take mole posts for $20 Alex.

More important than testing presidential candidates, would be testing the voters. We can be sure that another democrat would never be elected.

I would LOVE that!! Obama would never have been president. Imagine eight years of destruction having never happened.

To LUrking DUches, the reason Obama sealed his college transcripts are twofold.
1. He did poorly.
2. He lied and got in on a foreign student special pass.

Their idea of a test:

Question 1: Are you a democrat?

a) Yes
b) No

If you chose 'b', then you're disqualified for not only running for president, but from voting for one, commenting on our next glorious democrat fuhr leader, owning a gun, owning property, buying or selling products of any kind, practicing your religion, or living.

Good question!

Or I could go with "Are you to the left of Ronald Reagan?"

I think my fellow alum Skins should impose an intelligence test on those seeking admission onto Skins's island.

Given the general mental retardedness of the primitives, it might help increase the quality of debate over there.

Maybe there is such a test, and it screens out the occasional Lib/Prog of decent intelligence. :rimshot:

Beat me to it.

Question #1: Are you 35 years of age or older?
Question #2: Have you lived in the United States for at least fourteen consecutive years?
Question #3 (This is a tricky one): Were you born in the United States, or were you born to parents who were United States citizens?


Congratulations! You qualify to move on to our final round of Can You Be The President!  In this round, the audience gets to decide whether you can be President.  Good luck!
