Once upon a time a weird yell "disqualified" you from running for president...

What a quaint time.

If you're a Democrat, literally anything or nothing at all can disqualify you.

Would it though?

A woman at an Adlai Stevenson rally said, "Governor, every thinking person will be voting for you."

Stevenson replied, "Madam, that's not enough. I need a majority."
