Although we are a year away from the general election to find a replacement for President Obama, the American people have had to put up with a lot of debates, questions, stories, and pointless headlines regarding the potential candidates. The most recent question that has been making the rounds, and started with Jeb Bush, is if the candidate could travel back in time would he/she kill baby Hitler. Bush provided a candid response of, "Hell yeah, I would," and "You gotta step up, man." This has led to reporters asking other presidential hopefuls the same question, which seems like a scene right out of Mike Judge's Idiocracy.
After careful consideration and countless hours of contemplation on the topic (a total of about 90 seconds of rational thought and 10 minutes of typing), I've decided the presidential nominee who would get my vote is the one who responds to the baby Hitler question with this: "The idea of killing baby Hitler falls under the grandfather paradox of time travel. While time seems to be linear and accessing the past or future is a frequent avenue for science-fiction literary trope, it probably in reality is another dimension in the fourth plane of existence. Therefore your scenario is moot and not worth consideration. Let's move on to foreign policy, shall we."
That guy or girl is the candidate for me.
