Is America ready for a fat President?
Somebody with the physical stature of a Chris Christie, but with less seemingly corrupt baggage.
Point 1: He was elected Governor. Yeah, but Governor is not President.
Point 2: We had Taft as President, and he was quite the hefty guy. Yeah, but that was literally 100 years ago. Time and attitudes change. A man with a full beard would have a hard time being elected in today's political environment, and we have many of those in our past, also.
So, is America ready for a fat President?
ETA: Please note that the question is not about Christie specifically. He is just a ready example. It is a generic question in nature.
