The Ideal Republican Presidential Candidate:

He must be unpredictable. It's better if he is mentally unstable.

He must be willing to lie in all instances. And those that speak for him must be able to improvise quickly with lies on any and every subject. They must be 100% loyal.

He must be not only willing to bend the laws, but to break them at every opportunity. Rules are made for losers.

He must be willing to use patriotism as a campaign issue but be able to discard it when he needs to make a deal with enemy autocrats. He must be secure enough to hug the flag at every opportunity.

Also, he must be able to put his own personal interests above those of the country and to commit crimes to secure whatever makes him more wealthy or more powerful.

Furthermore, he can never show sympathy or pity for anyone. That would only make him look weak.

And he must always take the side of the underdog, especially when they are of questionable character or have been accused of a crime. He understands that criminals are not the bad people.
