By "whackjob", you mean growing up poor, joining the Marines after high school, graduating summa cum laude from Ohio State with a BA (in two years) and then getting his JD from Yale Law School where he was Editor of the "Yale Law Journal", and then getting married and having three kids.
Yeah, he must seem like a real "whackjob" to you. We can't be having any intelligent, male, patriotic, white, heterosexual "whackjobs" running for office in the US.
