hypothetical Ideal Traits of a Presidential Candidate who would wipe all opposition?
I'll start off with what I think is a prototypical presidential candidate who would be near-perfect for winning the hearts and souls of the American people, even in the 2020s.
Height: 6'5-6'6
Studies show the taller opponent has won presidential elections since the advent of live television, lots of halo effects associated with height.
Weight: ~240lb
Solid healthy lean weight suiting an athletic former college rowing/rugby/football/lacrosse who's at the end of his physical prime, strong frame to avoid being physically dominated and helps with an intimidation factor.
Age: Early 50s
Median age of presidents when assuming office, old enough to have serious legitimacy/respect while young enough to not alienate the youngest voters, will avoid oppositions' claims of senility or being slowed by old age
Religion: Calvinist Protestant
Obvious reasons.
Ethnic Background: (Teutonic) Anglo-Saxon
Would be descended from early waves of colonizers from Central England. A mix of Scottish/Irish/Germanic/Dutch ancestry as well has been historically passable, but definitively not the norm.
Eye Color: Blue
Strong WASP/attractive features. Not particularly important.
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Strong WASP/North Atlantid features. Not particularly important.
Hometown: Greenwich
Strongly WASP-associated location in New England, lots of Mayflower-types.
Background: Military, Law and/or Finance
All extremely well-respected careers and proves competency.
Alma Mater: Philips Andover, Philips Exeter, Deerfield, Le Rosey, Eton, West Point, Harvard, Yale, Princeton
All well-renowned household names that have immensely deep networks across the Anglosphere.
Facial Features: Straight Thin Nose, Strong Ram Bow Jaw, Dense Expressive Eyebrows, Strong Browridge, Low and Straight Hairline
Quintessential masculine, attractive and heroic features widely associated with those of WASP descent.
If anybody has a differing opinion and would like to propose a different candidate archetype that would fare better, I am all ears.
Physically, this presidential candidate would somewhat resemble actor Clint Walker (6'6, dark brown hair, blue eyes, heroic masculine facial features, wide muscular frame, WASP-passing despite being Czech/Germanic).
Barron Trump
This post feels like the love child of a 1950s eugenics pamphlet and a country club recruitment ad. Apparently, the secret to uniting a nation is being a tall guy from Greenwich who looks like he sells insurance on horseback.
40-42 out of 46 presidents were WASPs (Classified as primarily British Isles descent, especially English, but some were mixed with Scottish/Welsh/Irish/Dutch/Germanic).
26 out of 46 were 6 foot or above (keep in mind average height during the 19th and 20th century was significantly lower).
An estimated 22 had blue eyes.
Most were also conventionally attractive according to Northern/Western European standards, which let's not kid ourselves, the Rest of World (Global South/countries who are varying shades of brown) looks up to and aspires to be. Exceptions did happen, like Abe Lincoln who had a pretty unfortunate face.
Most also had relatively straight and thin noses as Anglo-Saxons typically do, others had a slight bump or curve, especially due to old age. However, none had an exceptionally ugly nose that you would find in Jewish/Arab/South Asian populations.
I think you might be gay bro
Your name is Geralt of Rivia, the actor who plays him fits most of these traits.
Would include *is not a woman* in there.
I thought it would be too obvious, like being Protestant, to include.
Bump
