Which one of these two people would be more dangerous in a public service role?

The one who can control his emotion and think out what he/she does and says before acting, but has a weakness for cheesecake and is hefty?
Or the one who watches his diet, but blows up about nonsense on a regular basis?

I know id have no problem voting for the fat guy over the guy who looks good in a suit, but wants to persecute segments of society that offend him
