# Remixing Presidential Candidates John McCain Fails The Test By Yolanda Solo | Published 2008-07-30 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/presidential-candidates-john-mccains-fails-the-test References: [viralvideochart](http://www.viralvideochart.com/youtube/the_commander_in_chief_test?id=mgF39TRCPPE) A hilarious video called “The Commander In Chief Test” is not one that John McCain will be happy about. The video takes some of his classic comments that make him look less than the ideal presidential candidate. The 'test' covers several different areas: Knowledge, Experience, Prepared, Maturity, Informed, Wisdom, Diplomacy, Dedication and Judgment. Some of the best bits include saying the US could be in Iraq for 100 years and that it is worth going to Mars just to see what it looks like. Now while the American people might be curious, I am sure that they could think of much better ways of spending the estimated $500 billion it would cost. Healthcare and education are two key areas that come to mind! Would you vote for this man? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hilarious Political Videos:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating humorous political videos to highlight flaws and engage voters. - **Meme-ification of Political Candidates:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Transforming political candidates' quotes and actions into shareable memes for viral social media impact. - **Focusing on Key Policy Priorities:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Shifting the political discourse towards important policy areas like healthcare and education. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Digital Content Creation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with creators to produce engaging and shareable political content. - **Social Media Marketing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Leveraging social platforms and influencers to amplify political messaging and engagement. - **Policy Advocacy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Mobilizing grassroots movements and online campaigns to prioritize specific policy issues. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Political Campaign Game Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freedom-town.md) - [Boomer-Focused Voter Advertisements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/groom-a-boomer.md) - [Presidential Election Candy Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusemints-election-collection.md) - [Informative Election Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roblox-3.md) - [Pop Culture Presidency Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brat.md) - [Flavor-Fueled Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mccain-masala-movie.md) - [Fun-Forward Snack Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feed-the-fun.md) - [Expansive Electoral Candy Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/election-collection.md) - [Branded Short Talk Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/progressives-dr-rick.md)
