Scope is real. If you ever have to choose between voting a convicted serial abuser of children into the Presidential office--but this person otherwise seems stable and collected--versus a Presidential candidate who seems easy to provoke and who has 'bad days' and doesn't listen to advisors and once said "Why do we have all these nukes if we can't use them?", it is deadly important that you vote for the pedophile. It isn't physically possible to abuse enough children per day over 4 years to do as much damage as you can do with one wrong move in the National Security Decision-Making Game.

An evil but sane NSDM player is far, far less dangerous than an impulsive one who doesn't care all that much about what the rules of NSDM are supposed to be.
