I came across a strikingly apt one-word description of a prospective presidential candidate: cockwomble.
According to the Urban Dictionary, a cockwomble is British slang for “a person, usually male, who is prone to making outrageously stupid statements and/or inappropriate behavior while having a very high opinion of their own wisdom and importance.”
Shall we let the reader decide which of the candidates fits this description and vote accordingly?
