If the candidates could all get into an argument about which superhero is hotter, that'd be great.

 

[The Outsider]

He's not wrong.

[Not]

*gets asked a question about favorite Marvel superhero*
*talks about Batman and (very awkwardly) about Supergirl, both being part of DC*

Swing and a miss on being relatable to the younger crowd. C'mon, Jeb!, that was an easy question.

Conflating Marvel with DC makes me despise the man more than any other of his policies have up to this point.

 

[Dennis]

This is a really petty reason to shit on Jeb. There's much better material to use.

To you maybe but can we really trust a man to run America if he can't even keep Marvel and DC straight in his head?

 

[Kinyou]

If the candidates could all get into an argument about which superhero is hotter, that'd be great.

An argument about whether Goku could defeat Superman would also be acceptable.

 

[Messypandas]

All politicians should just answer Captain Marvel from now on, then they have all bases covered.

 

[Veritigo_X]

The best part is that Supergirl is trying to target to young girls by giving them a superhero they can relate and look up to. Check out the reactions from these girls that watched the first episode: http://wiat.com/2015/10/20/girls-inc-visits-wiat-42-news-station-for-premiere-of-supergirl/. The only thing Jeb could say was to sexualize the main character young girls are going to look up to.

I mean I'd say she was hot if asked too, but I'm not running for president.

 

[VendettaRed07]

It's not to late to say you'd put her on the $10 over Thatcher, Jeb!

 

[QuicheFontaine]

An argument about whether Goku could defeat Superman would also be acceptable.

Pfft, like there's even an argument to be had there.

 

[LucidMomentum]

We talking about Shazaam, Carol, Kamala or Mar-Vell here?

I mean I'd say she was hot if asked too, but I'm not running for president.

Well it's not wrong to say she's attractive.

However, that being your only reason for liking the character seems somewhat sexist and marginalizing, however.

Trick question: Superman is American.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Trick question: Superman is American.

I thought he was an alien

 

[neurosyphilis]

She's not even hot ? She is an average looking girl that you see everyday.

 

[Angry Grimace]

That isn't an illegitimate reason at all. She IS hot.

 

[Messypandas]

We talking about Shazaam, Carol, Kamala or Mar-Vell here?

I've answered the question

 

[Ray Wonder]

She's not even hot ? She is an average looking girl that you see everyday.

She's not a supermodel, but she definitely is hot. I see women I would put under the "hot" category almost everyday.

 

[Guevara]

I thought he was an alien

Oh... rocket baby.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

She's not even hot ? She is an average looking girl that you see everyday.

Yeah, okay...

isn't he like 40 years older than her?

At what age do you stop thinking women in their 20s are fucking hot? You think old people who look at porn only look at old people porn?

 

[PeskyToaster]

Jeb will push back Captain Marvel for a Supergirl movie.

 

[Ganzlinger]

She's not even hot ? She is an average looking girl that you see everyday.

The actress? I thought this was a 2D discussion lol

 

[Veritigo_X]

Yep, that's the point I was trying to make. You worded it better, haha.

He made a comment that I see in 75% of Gaf threads. Find another reason to complain about him, there's lots of material you can use.

 

[RDreamer]

I don't think I would want to vote for the comments section of almost any website for president. The fact that he made a comment that we might here doesn't make it a good comment to make when you're running for president.

But yes, there are a lot of other things wrong with him, too.

 

[Escape Goat]

Jeb! Bush is really bad at campaigning.

 

[Slayven]

10 Slayven points to whoever gets and explains the joke

Don't exaggerate what I'm saying here. =/

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

How does one redeem Slayven points?

 

[Slayven]

How does one redeem Slayven points?

Once you get a 100 Slayven points you get to loan me 20 dollars.

 

[Veritigo_X]

10 Slayven points to whoever gets and explains the joke

Some sort of alternate reality alien Supergirl? I dunno, she's hot though.

Once you get a 100 Slayven points you get to loan me 20 dollars.

Never mind, I retract my guess.

Contrast this with Obama's reply on the same question:

http://blogs.reuters.com/talesfromt...icking-obama-mccain-share-favorite-superhero/

U.S. presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama have unmasked their favorite pop culture icons, including superheroes, with McCain favoring Batman and Obama choosing Spider-Man and Batman.

In interviews with Entertainment Weekly magazine posted on its Web site Thursday, McCain, 71, and Obama, 47, also gave their picks for best on-screen president, top singers and most-liked television shows.

Obama, the Democratic senator from Illinois, said he chose Spider-Man and Batman because “they have some inner turmoil.” McCain, a Republican senator from Arizona, said Batman is a quiet hero who pursues justice “against insurmountable odds.”

And this:

I was always into the Spider-Man and Batman model. The guys who have too many powers -- like Superman -- that always made me think they weren't really earning their superhero status. It's a little too easy. Whereas Spider-Man and Batman, they have some inner turmoil. They get knocked around a bit.

 

[Walter White Walker]

I can't hate him for this.

 

[joedan]

This won't be his binders full of women moment but it's simply a poor choice of words. While he's correct that shouldn't be his bases for picking favorite superhero.

Why not?

 

[Grym]

besides,

she would keep us safe

right, Jeb!?

 

[vas_a_morir]

I can't hate him for this.

Yeah, i feel like we are supposed to be outraged... but I feel it would be more unusual if he DIDN'T think she was hot.

 

[CharlieDigital]

Why not?

Reveals a lack of critical thinking, lack of depth of analysis, and a bit of thinking with your penis.

Not what you want from your POTUS.

 

[marrec]

Detect zero lies in his statement. It's okay to acknowledge that hot people are hot... as long as you realize that they don't exist simply for your sexual gratification.

 

[leroidys]

Well I can't really argue with him.

 

[Wag]

 

[hal9001]

Nvm

He is a billionaire white dude with satellites that can create an army of super killers. What insurmountable odds?

 

[Broken Joystick]

I must concede that !Jeb may be partly right on this one issue

fuck

 

[marrec]

He is a billionaire white dude with satellites that can create an army of super killers. What insurmountable odds?

Not to belabor the point, but his main nemesis is also just a psychotic dude who dresses like a clown.

Insurmountable odds indeed.

He kept us safe.

“I like watching the movies,” Bush said, “and I wish I owned Marvel, as somebody who believes in capitalism.”

WHO SAYS THIS

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Depth of analysis? Maybe he doesn't know anything about super heroes?

Truly Orca is Batman's greatest villain

WHO SAYS THIS

I wish I owned Marvel too but mainly for the shit ton of money, not capitalism.

 

[Schweinehund]

He's not wrong.

Also hammering home the point that no one gives a fuck about DC vs Marvel outside message boards.
