Of any two candidates, which one would you most want your kid to be like?

The Repubs successfully made "want to have a beer with" a criterion. It is a brilliant way of lowering standards, because it asks us to choose a clown (Junior for example) and it uses the word "beer" in a sentence. But I would argue the above criteria are better.

Are there others, possibly more succinct and easy to apply?
