"Excellent question, Roy. I think the American people will trust me because I've fought through and survived almost every battle scenario you could think of. Robot legions, undead warriors, demons from hell, democrats, you name it, I've shot it. And when the going gets tough, you can bet I'll have what it takes to see our people through it. A couple hundred years ago I was involved in a battle where the universe was at stake, and just when things were at their worst, I kamikaze'd a ship the side of a planet into a fleet of ships. If that's not dedication I don't know what is. I did it once before, and I'm willing to do it again. Only this time, it'll be for America."
The Assailant replied, gesticulating for emphasis when necessary, and when not, including shaping his hands like space ships and ramming them into each other.
