Maybe becoming president takes more than just being a dick

The white go-go boots 👢👢, puddin’ fingers, extraordinarily bizarre laugh, obvious lift inserts, and extreme social awkwardness killed his chances
He just came across as a phony wannabe strongman
Also, he is just too short, hence the lifts. He would have been the shortest US President to date.

  No rizz Ron 😂
He's just not the bigger dick. Let's hope he fails equally as miserably in the next elections he decides to throw his hat into. People dismissed Trump for similar reasons and look what happened. 10th try's the charm, sometimes.
- 10th times the charm with help from Russia and who knows who else. Russia ran a really tight psy op campaign on facebook and laser focused their energy on those most likely to affect the outcome and even more importantly more likely to be persuaded by fake news.
  
  Oh I'm well aware of how Russia has helped him and the GOP and all else from their playbook (Just wanted an excuse to mention that), but let's not pretend that he wasn't also greatly aided by the American media's obsession with him and the constant stories he provides and ratings he brings in. Let's not forget how the DNC helped him by sabotaging and hamstringing their only viable candidate because it was Hilary's turn.
  Are we of the opinion these factors couldn't possibly come together to fuck us again, because I'm not quite so optimistic.
I mean, I'm not gonna tell 'em

Being a dick can obviously help though
Yeah. Ron learned the tough way.
- ...that he wasn't being enough of a dick, given his mindset.
  
  Not that he was dick enough, but most men know that for a dick to be effective. You need a hand to guide it or else it just awkwardly flops around and runs into tyw wrong hole
I love the double entendre!
Mmm, hungwy
Does it though? Trump was a massive dick, and he still got elected.
- once. then impeached. twice. and then indicted. ninety-one times.
  
  that doesn’t account for much though. by current estimations next year he’ll be a twice impeached 91 times indicted POTUS for the next 4 years. it looks like you can be a lawless dick, suffer no consequences and go back to power. what’s even the point of rules?
  
  And failed a re-election campaign
- Try reading the article rather than responding to the headline
  
  Honestly, even just read the headline. It says "more than just being a dick "
  The headline itself implies that being a dick can be part of a successful formula.
- He lost the popular vote. If elections were fair in the U.S., he wouldn't have been.
