Is it to late to start over and pick a new set of people?

15 People Who Would Be Better Presidential Nominees Than Clinton And Trump

Last month this country officially chose Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump as the Democrat and Republican nominees for president. At this point, most people are a little shocked wondering how it all came down to them, and wondering if it's too late to start the election process over. However, I would argue this is not the best this country can do, there are plenty of people who would make a better nominee than these two. Here's my top 15 people whom I believe would be better presidential nominees than Clinton and Trump:

1. James Corden

Press conferences are a little boring, but as president, James Corden could have Carpool Karaoke press conferences.

2. Dumbledore

Dumbledore took care of Hogwarts through some pretty tough times, and I think Americans would be willing to put their vote behind this headmaster.

3. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

Besides the fact that The Rock could probably take down our enemies single-handedly, he's also played the president a couple times on "Saturday Night Live," so he's basically qualified for the job.

4. Paul Rudd

Paul Rudd is a national treasure that all men, women and children love. He would no doubt have a 100 percent likability rating, and he ages so well he would probably look the same even after his presidency.

5. Tina Fey

Tina Fey knows what it's like to be a woman in charge, and she's a better Sarah Palin than the actual Sarah Palin. It's time to make America funny again.

6. Olivia Benson

People have praised Donald Trump for being the "Law and Order" candidate, but Olivia Benson would be the ultimate "Law and Order" candidate. This is a female nominee everyone can get behind.

7. Chad from the "Bachelorette"

Chad has definitely had his bad moments, but on the bright side, he kind of learns from them. Even if he might be a young Trump in the making, at least he is easy on the eyes.

8. Tom Cruise

This election has had a lot of talk about who will protect the nuclear codes, and if anyone has seen "Mission Impossible," then they know Tom Cruise will protect those codes! He might be a little on the crazy side, but even if he has to scale a building or hang off the side of a plane, he will protect this country no matter what.

9. Ryan Gosling

Technically Ryan Gosling is not qualified to be president because he is Canadian, but maybe we could bend the rules just once.

10. Lin-Manuel Miranda

He played a founding father on stage for a year in "Hamilton," so he's bound to have picked up some lessons about governing a country. Another plus of a Miranda presidency is having cabinet rap battles, which would definitely make government more interesting.

11. Chris Pratt

Chris Pratt has battled dinosaurs and taken down aliens as the guardian of the galaxy. His resume is fairly impressive, and he was in "Parks and Recreation," so he pretty much has political experience.

12. Batfleck

Batman can be a little dark, and Ben Affleck can be a little crazy, but if you put them both together, Batfleck is presidential material. Plus what nation wants to argue with Batman?

13. Joanna and Chip Gaines

This HGTV couple specializes in remodeling, and this country is giant fixer upper they need to their hands on. They work best as a couple, so we should just elect them both.

14. Taylor Swift

People may call Taylor a liar and a snake, but is she really as bad as most politicians? Instead of going to war, a President Swift would just write spiteful songs about how we are breaking up with our enemies. Plus her squad would be perfect for the cabinet.

15. Deadpool

Deadpool is persistent and when he sets his eye on a goal, he doesn't give up. He would not be a heroic president, but he would put maximum effort into this job.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
