I don't believe in real life he would do this if it wasn't a photo opp. Anyone who's read interviews with him much would get the idea he wouldn't be doing this. This strikes me as something super pact Hillar ywould do - anything to get elected. That said, he's the best candidate we've got. Maybe he has to do it because it's good for the campaign. But, it still strikes me as photo op and using the grandkids in it.
