Top Ten Reasons (or more) a Terminator Would Make a Better PotUS

[Simon_Jester]

Are we going to make it to fifty? I think we're going to make it to fifty...

38. A Terminator will not make light of police brutality, since Terminators have been on the receiving end of a lot of police violence. Sure, it was utterly, utterly justified police violence, and they give as good as they get, but still.

[LaCroix]

39. A terminator does not care about religion. He neither discriminates for nor against.

[Broomstick]

40) A Terminator does not care about race or ethnicity, he neither discriminates for nor against.

[Col. Crackpot]

41) If for some reason a Terminator's decision leads to unforseen negative consequences, said Terminator is capable of time travel and can ensure errro is negated.

[Elheru Aran]

41) If for some reason a Terminator's decision leads to unforseen negative consequences, said Terminator is capable of time travel and can ensure errro is negated.

Point of order: the Terminators were never independently capable of time travel. They required large devices to travel through time, and once they arrived, they were stuck.

41) If for some reason a Terminator's decision leads to unforseen negative consequences, said Terminator is capable of time travel and can ensure error is negated.

Point of order: the Terminators were never independently capable of time travel. They required large devices to travel through time, and once they arrived, they were stuck.

Except in The Sarah Connor Chronicles, where a small (hand-held) time displacement device was planted in a bank vault. Doubtless a Terminator could be provided sufficient data to construct one, if necessary for mission success.

Error corrected. End of Line.

19. When considering military strikes against individuals, a Terminator would always be absolutely certain of the target's identity.

The T-800 arrives in 1984, finds a phone book, and kills the first two Sarah Connors by listing. It then goes to Sarah's apartment and, in a case of mistaken identity, kills her roommate Ginger. Then it hears Sarah leave a message on the answering machine and realizes that she is still alive. Systematic, but not absolutely certain. It did a better job with the first Sarah terminated: "Are you Sarah Connor?" "Yes." *bang!*

Ah but what is the canonicity of T:TSCC? :v

To be fair I've never seen it, my only exposure is the movies, so...

[Iroscato]

Stay on target...stay on target...


42. A Terminator has a better understanding of life, the universe, and everything than probably any POTUS past, present, and future.

[Crazedwraith]

43. A Terminator can definitely be taught the value of human life. Humans only maybe know it.

[Shroom Man 777]

44.) A Terminator can make combinations. Like "chill out, dickwad."

[Eternal_Freedom]

45. A Terminator has no ego to bruise.
46. A Terminator does not possess a Twitter account.

[Simon_Jester]

47. (Or possibly a new amended #19).

A Terminator will have keen knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of a drone-based assassination campaign, and will have realistic knowledge of what it can and cannot do.

In Terminator Genisys the T-800 known as "Pops" successfully constructed a time travel device and used it to send two humans into the future. Another Terminator manged to construct another one. So yes, properly programmed Terminators are capable of building time machines.

48. A Terminator knows why we cry, even though it is something he can never do.

[Civil War Man]

19. When considering military strikes against individuals, a Terminator would always be absolutely certain of the target's identity.

It did a better job with the first Sarah terminated: "Are you Sarah Connor?" "Yes." *bang!*

49. A Terminator is thorough, and will not half-ass a mission and then declare victory without even knowing whether or not it met the objectives.

[Tribble]

50. Just to expand 39 + 40, A Terminator does not discriminate based on Race, Ethnicity, Place of origin, Colour, Ethnic origin, Citizenship, Creed, Sex, Sexual orientation, Gender identity, Gender expression, Age, Marital status, Family status, Disability, Association, Political Party, or even Species.

[Shroom Man 777]

50.) The Terminator is a direct result of increased minorities' representation in the STEM fields and the Terminator also provided opportunities for the advancement of minorities in the STEM fields.

[Eternal_Freedom]

And that's fifty. Can we keep going?

51. A Terminator will never need a bad toupee.

[Tribble]

52. Given the Terminator's ability to perfectly mimic voices it would make a great singer, and could easily give other leaders prank phone calls.

[FaxModem1]

53. A Terminator can know the importance of traffic laws, and will obey them unless necessary not to.

[bilateralrope]

54: A Terminator won't want "Easy D".

[Joun_Lord]

55 The Terminator won't take shit from any other world leaders but is willing to work with others to complete his mission.

As an aside I could see some of the attacks ads for President Terminator.....

(Read this in the standard attack ad voice) "John Q Terminator says he is tough on crime. He says he will clean up our streets. He says he is a friend of the police. He lied. Video evidence shows him killing dozens, engaging in high speed chases and even killing an entire police station. Tough on crime or a criminal? What else is he lying about? Even he even a cyborg? Paid for the Robocop for President.

[Khaat]

Despite claims by the misinformed, the Terminator isn't a cyborg: its continued operation is not dependent on its organic camouflage. A cyborg is a mechanically-enhanced human, like Officer Alex Murphy. Paid for by Friends for Alex Murphy
