How would George Washington handle the bright lights of the debate stage if he were running for president today?
The official Mount Vernon website has answered that question with a series of videos placing a George Washington impersonator into footage of the first and third Republican debates and the first Democratic debate.
Some of his answers are hilarious, but others give viewers a history lesson on Washington's life and how he viewed the role of the presidency and the election process. Some of today's candidates look on in confusion.
