Sanders Campaign Doubles Down With New Ad Warning Americans Theyll Never Be Able To Hear A Female President Over The Sound Of Her VacuumI do not believe that we as Americans can risk electing a female candidate who wont address universal healthcare or climate change over the loud racket of her vacuum cleaner coming from the Oval Office 24 hours a day, said Sanders over an ominous 30-second black-and-white shot of panicked advisors fleeing a national security meeting when the female president, a woman with a beehive hairdo, high heels, and an apron, accidentally filled the room with thick smoke after burning a pan of cookies in the briefing room oven.
When you make your decision about the Democratic nominee, consider whether you want a president who is divided between making policy decisions and scrubbing the floors, or trying to take care of our veterans when shes preoccupied with her crying baby. Not to mention the hair dryer whirring all day and night as the lady president does her hair. And how does she expect to keep America safe when shes constantly distracting our top generals by asking them for help opening difficult jars?
Maybe we as a nation will be ready for a female president in 2024, if technology has improved so that vacuums are quieter, but until then we cant afford to take the chance.
