in common of all prominent presidential candidates and their home religion?

Here's my top ten list what they both have in common.

10. Exaggerate their own qualities - legends in their own minds

9. Keep their finances secret unless forced to open them.

8. Clueless as to how the real world perceives them.

7. Pretend that obtaining wealth is not a priority.

6. Reacts slowly to and actually resist healthy social and cultural trends.

5. Will misrepresent deeply held disturbing beliefs and practices when brought to light by the media.

4. Are prone to making statements in secret meeting that they deny or minimize later.

3. Are incapable of admitting mistakes or apologizing for past behavior. Disavowing all evidence to the contrary.

2. Notorious for being out of touch with mainstream creating a sense of "something is just not right about" them.

1. Spends millions on public relations and creating image.

Please add you own items to this list.

Cold hard facts become so painful that rewriting history becomes a frequent coping mechanism.

What kind of person would run for office 6 years, spending almost a billion dollars only to have one of their children say "Oh, he really didn't want to be X anyway."??? Their whole family is super weird, and live in some alternate reality.
