Additional comment from candidate:
I had a career that was devoted to annihilating all mankind in as gruesome a way conceivable. I think voters should elevate their concern beyond the pettiness that our political discourse has become. Rather they should consider themselves as potential victims of their own callousness. It is technologically possible to make this election the last one that they will ever need to concern themselves.
