Mr. Washington, many have suggested that your weakness lies in domestic affairs, while your strength is foreign policy. How would you, for example, handle the Mutant Rights situation?
That's a great question, thank you. I think that the real solution is far from simple, but that we have to face up as a nation to the fact that the current situation is wholly unacceptable. Hate crimes against mutants, both from cops and ordinary citizens are going unprosecuted, despite evidence, simply on the basis that mutants are subhuman.
On a related note, how would you handle peace talks with Venezuela, a nation comprised almost entirely of mutants?
I think that I'd try to acknowledge that both sides have made mistakes, and that both nations need to move forward if we are to end this petty an unnecessary conflict. Of course, my opponents would tell you that Venezuelans are terrorists and mutants must be registered to protect "Sapiens." To this I say that we have not had an openly racist president in almost two hundred years, and I would not like to have another now.
What of the allegations that you are secretly a mutant yourself, and have a hidden agenda?
I'd like to state that those "allegations" are simply part of a smear campaign directed at me by radical supporters of... well, my opponents are two rich people with no political experience, and a man from a city that is practically run by crime lords. Perhaps I'm not the most worthy candidate out there, but I'm the only one who's running.
Any inaccuracies will be edited, no snark necessary. ;)
