I think that if a candidate running for office said that we should elect him because he was better than the rest of us, we would outright reject him, but if we were to find out that he got into a little trouble with the law when he was a young kid or that he was going through an ugly divorce, or had children out of wed-lock or that he didn't like to go to church or he watches porn or thousands of other things that he would have in common with lots of the common American, we wouldn't be comfortable with him or her. I don't think we are comfortable with the idea of a president who is just a person like the rest of us. We want him to be somehow better.
Am I wrong?
