Groan, the alpha male gorilla effect. The curse of the human condition. It would be nice if brains rather than chest bumping were dominant characteristics.
Sure, Ron Paul couldn't punch his way into a bar full of gangstas. But he would have some back-up in the form of secret service, police, army, navy, air force. He doesn't actually need to be a big, tough, manly, bruiser.
<Produce a John Wayne type character, instead of whimpy characters like Ron Paul or Ross Perot, or overbearing ones like Bob Barr, and I think things would be a bit different...>
The contents of the person's brain is what's needed, not their macho strong-man strutting. You are suggesting a woman would be unfit to be President. That's interesting. Women do tend towards the socialist, so I agree with you, generally. But some women would be suitable.
Margaret Thatcher was armed only with a hand-bag, but she saw off the macho Argentinian junta [without much help from Nato allies such as the USA I note].
Oh well, the USA will get the government they deserve. Good and hard! I have provided a lot of capital to the USA, which is ready to flee at a moment's notice. So have people around the world. That was because their capital was protected, the economy was kept on the straight and narrow [more or less] and good things were done with that capital.
Quarter of a century ago I invented the management theory that management was ideally a really smart, capable bloke with a gorilla on a short leash. The worst was a gorilla with a really smart, capable bloke on a short leash. The gorilla tends to use the smart, capable bloke like a ball on the end of a chain, swinging it around, whacking others with it.
