On CNN, Dilbert Creator Says Trump Will Win Because Between Mom And Dad, Dad Is The One You Call When There's Trouble

Scott Adams: “Dad Is Kind Of An A-Hole, But If You Need To Take Care Of Some Trouble, He's Going To Be The One You Call,” Unless You Need “A Sandwich And A Hug”

From the April 1 edition of CNN's The Lead with Jake Tapper:

JAKE TAPPER (HOST): You have this new theory about a Trump-Clinton general election contest that will, in your view, potentially favor Trump. What is it? 

SCOTT ADAMS: So when we have Trump versus Clinton, assuming they get to the final match, it's going to look like mom versus dad. Now, they're not going to say that, but in our minds we're going to start seeing them that way. And the thing about dad is that dad is kind of an a-hole, but if you need dad to take care of some trouble, he's going to be the one you call. You know, if there's a noise downstairs, you probably are not going to call mom, even if she's awesome. You're probably going to call the biggest person in the room, you're going to call dad. So in our irrational minds, if the world is exploding and we're still talking about nuclear terrorism, I think people are going to say, maybe you want the most dangerous person to protect us. If people are saying things are looking pretty good right now, the economy's not so bad, all I need is a sandwich and a hug, maybe mom looks better. So I think people end up talking about the issues and then ignoring them and it's these big, just feelings that they have about the candidates that are going to rule in the end.
