Which U.S. president would win in a massive knife fight?

Hands down, it’s Teddy. The man kept a bear as a pet.

A BEAR.

I was going with GW because he did all those campaigns with horrible dental pain and he still was a total badass.

And frankly not even that fat by 21st Century standards. Governor/Presidential candidate Chris Christie weighed in at an estimated 400+ pounds (versus Taft’s peak of around 340) before Christie’s recent gastric bypass surgery.

Lincoln:
Lincoln is enshrined in the Wrestling Hall of Fame.
The Great Emancipator wasn’t quite WWE material, but thanks to his long limbs he was an accomplished wrestler as a young man. Defeated only once in approximately 300 matches, Lincoln reportedly talked a little smack in the ring. According to Carl Sandburg’s biography of Lincoln, Honest Abe once challenged an entire crowd of onlookers after dispatching an opponent: ā€œI’m the big buck of this lick. If any of you want to try it, come on and whet your horns.ā€ There were no takers. Lincoln’s grappling exploits earned him an ā€œOutstanding Americanā€ honor in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.

Washington gets the Bronze:

Several horses shot out from under him, holes shot in several jackets, the country’s ling jump champion (among other examples of physical prowess. considered an amazing athlete),
ā€œEven though he had four bullet holes in his jacket, and bullet fragments in his hair. And two horses shot out from under him.ā€ Guy was fearless.

He dismisses Obama outright for pretty good reasons, but I do wonder how all those old guys would react to a black president in their arena. Would they be too shocked to kill him? Or shank him first?

Hillary Clinton, actually, might be a surprise star, for that matter. Many of the men might be too confused and gentlemanly to stab her, Papa Bush would prevent his son from stabbing her, and I bet she could be vicious with a knife.

To find out, I guess we’ll just have to elect her.

Well, at least we now have a legitimate reason to clone the former Presidents if/when that technology is perfected.

Best reality TV series ever.

Of course, Nixon would cheat. He’d have a plumbers squad with sniper rifles pick off the rest of the lot.

I for one would prefer almost anybody else, even for the price of leaving this question unanswered.

If plumbers, then pipe bombs!

Bernie can do it with words:

ā€œKill me and your wages will go down. You’ll only be helping Wall Street. I guarantee it.ā€

How long it takes you to die is probably not a great indication of your combat prowess.

Usually the time to die is ā€œall your lifeā€.

I disagree. I am fully living and I’m only going to die right after I’m done with that, but just before I’m actually dead.

You start the process of slowly dying the moment you’re born. Or maybe conceived, the opinions vary.

Can we count future presidents?

If so then the answer is clear.

Don’t forget Honest Abe was also a Vampire hunter!

I’ve heard that before, but disagree. As long as my cells are mitosing, I’m regenerating and living. Sure the dead ones are dying off… but they’re not me anymore, if you know what I mean.
