Before I begin my nominee wishlist for the presidential campaign of 2016, let me be clear: I am NOT a fan of politics or anything related to it. However, I am a big believer that voting is extremely important, and this being the first presidential campaign I will be old enough to vote in, I have been paying enough attention to decide that I am not a fan of any of our current candidates (some I dislike more than others). However, this is not me saying one candidate is better than the other, or you should vote for so-and-so, or any of that garbage. This is simply me pointing out my belief that I don't think any of the remaining presidents quite fit the shoe of presidency, and that one of the following may be able to do a better job. So, without further ado, here is the list of candidates that I wish could lead our country for the next four years instead.
He'd run our nation like he ran "The Office": like a boss (get it). Dwight Schrute would undoubtedly become his VP, and together the dynamic duo could take on the world.
2. Air Bud
He may be a dog, but Air Bud sure knows how to be a good member of the team. If he can lead a nation with the same grace that he can shoot a basketball, we'll be golden (pun very much intended).
3. Morgan Freeman
He's down-to-Earth and says it like it is (just in a very deep voice). Imagine how incredible his speeches would be. Besides, it's in his name: let him rule the land where man walks free (I'll stop with the puns now).
4. Damn Daniel
Internet sensation "Damn Daniel" is stylin' every day. A stylish man could be just what we need in the White House (with his matching shoes!). Besides, he clearly handles publicity well, and who handles more publicity than the president?
5. Simon Cowell
So what if he wasn't born in America. Simon may be a little bit rough around the edges (his first initial and last name together is literally "Scowell"), but at least he knows exactly what he wants and how to ignore the haters and get things done.
6. A CEO of Tinder
There are several founders of the popular dating app, Tinder. I believe anyone of them could make an excellent president. They could easily play matchmaker with who our country trades with and who we decide to go to war with. Plus, imagine the drama that would unfold in the White House! They'd make a reality TV show about it for sure.
7. Grumpy Cat
He may be known for being the grumpiest cat alive, but just look how majestic he looks with the American flag behind him. I think that says it all. Case made.
8. Esteban Julio Ricardo Montoya de la Rosa Ramirez
We all saw how dedicated he was to being a bellboy at the Tipton Hotel in the show "The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody". He also stands up for himself whenever he needs to. The dedication and loyalty that Esteban possesses would make an incredible leader of our country. He'd continue to lead as long as the Liberty Bell rang freely (last pun, I promise).
9. A Can of Lima Beans
They may have a little trouble winning over the voters, but at the end of the day, they're good for you and can do wonders for your health, just like they could do wonders for our country.
10. My Imaginary Friend From 12 Years Ago
I'm sure I could dig him up from my imagination if I tried. As I recall, he was a great friend and did whatever I told him to, which means he'd be great for a democracy.
11. Santa Claus
The man can travel the whole world in just one night. That's pretty remarkable. Plus, he's always jolly and wants to give everyone free stuff. Sounds like presidential material to me.
12. Obama for Round Three
He's been-there, done-that. Whether you like Obama or not, he's done a decent job at being our president. I'd be willing to keep him in office for a third term over the potential candidates.
Who knows what the presidential election will turn out to be this year. If you ask me, I'd much rather see this list on the ballot, because one of these would probably do a better job leading the nation. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Imagine (in a perfect world, obviously) this is the actual presidential candidate list. Who would you vote for?
