2016 has been one odd year so far. In January there was the outbreak of the Zika virus. In July, thieves used pokestops on Pokemon Go to rob people at gunpoint. There have been evil clown sighting since August. But even crazier, has been this Presidential election.

The main focus has been on Donald Trump of the Republican party, and Hilary Clinton of the Democrat party but there is also Gary Johnson of the Libertarian party, and Jill Stein of the Green party. Most people will discourage people from voting third party and claim that if they do, they are just wasting votes which means *fill in the blank* will win and we don't want *fill in the blank* to win! So you have to vote for *the other main party candidate*! However, whether Tump or Clinton win, I feel that we are truly doomed. Neither of them seem to actually care about the future of The United States Of American.

Donald Trump has said and done some pretty horrible things between his speeches, and inappropriately touching women: one on a plane, and a few pageant contestants. He does not speak well of woman or have much respect for them. He's also pretty racist whether he realizes it or not. And, he thinks he can get away with anything bad that he does or says because he is rich. He thinks being rich gives people a good reason to vote for him and has claimed that being rich would give him a better advantage as president. Donald also isn't the best a voicing his thoughts in a non-offensive way. Some of his ideas aren't half bad but then he just keeps talking and you fell like "did he really just say that?..."

Hilary isn't really presidential material either. She defended a child rapist, possibly had people murdered, possibly had the primaries rigged for her, has accepted millions of dollars for favors from other governments and of course who can forget about the email controversy.

So if I'm against Trump and Hilary, what am I doing this election? I've voted Republican in past. I'll admit I voted Mitt Romney in my first election. And even though he didn't win, oh well. Obama got to be president twice and didn't do that bad of a job at all. He did a lot better than I originally gave him credit for and there was only a few things he did that I didn't like. If he was able to run a third time, I'd vote for him this time. However, Trump, I can't in good consciousness vote for. Donald is such a bad candidate that I've been convinced to fill out the online paper work and switch to a different party this year. Republican or Democrat or third party, It doesn't really matter. what matters is the people behind those party. They are the one's being put in the white house and if you disapprove of the one your party has chosen, then don't be scared to vote for someone else. Your future is at stake.

I switched over to Democrat and voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary. However, he is now out of the running and I really don't want to vote for Hilary. I haven't really been able to connect that well with the other candidates either. I honestly don't think I'll know what I'm going to do until I'm in line waiting to vote which is a pretty scary thought.

So I got thinking, Wouldn't it be nice to have some more options? Since it is 2016 here is 16 better and not so better candidates to choose from. Most of them are of my choosing but towards the end I got some help from some friends and other authors on Odyssey.

1. Harry Potter

Harry potter is a half blood wizard who survived Voldemort when he was just a baby. Sadly his parents didn't so Harry was raised by his muggle aunt and uncle. They were very abusive to him. Luckily he was able to leave in when he was 11. He got accepted to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry and boy did his family try to hide this from him. However thanks to Haggrid, Harry was able to learn the big secret they kept from him. Harry learned that he was a Wizard and how his parents truly died. Haggrid also helped harry get his school supplies, gave him his first owl and filled him in more about what Harry didn't know. While on the train to Hogwarts he makes friends with Ron and meets Hermione. These two become his best friends. Once at Hogwarts he is sorted into Griffindor and the adventures truly begin. Over his years at Hogwarts and beyond, Harry has accomplished many great things including riding the world of the evil wizard Voldemort.

2. Markiplier

Mark was born in Hawaii in an air force bace. Shortly after, his father left the army and they moved to Ohio. In childhood, Mark and his brother Tom (author of webcomic "TwoKinds") enjoyed playing in the woods and gaming. Life hasn't always been easy though. His parents fought a lot when he was young and ended up getting a divorce. Shortly after high school graduation, his father was diagnosed with an advanced stage of cancer. He died one year later. After that he was in a dedicated relationship that his mom strongly disapproved of. It ended after Mark being fired. Not long after that he had a pain in his side that got worse as time went on. Turns out the pain was from his appendix being about the size of a beach ball and fist sized tumor in his adrenal gland. After being released from the hospital, Mark focused harder on his studies in Biomedical Engineering. He also bought a camera and started up a youtube channel.

Since then, Mark has dropped out of college, youtube has become his main life plan and he moved to California. His Channel Markiplier has 15 million subscribers and growing. Markiplier produces gaming videos as well as sketches/skits. He has worked with a wide variety of other youtubers and companies. Other than gaming and being a lovable goofball, another thing Markiplier is known for is his charity work. Mark with the help of his fans have raised over a million dollars for various charities. To name a few Markiplier has given to; "The Cancer Research Foundation", "Living Beyond Breast Cancer", "American Cancer Society", "St Jude children's Research Hospital", "Depression And Bipolar Support Alliance", "Best Friends Animal Society" and "MusAid". Mark has also been active with " The Make A Wish Foundation". Hes even won one of the Make A Wish Celebrity Of The Year awards for 2016.

Markiplier youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/markiplierGAME?&ab_ch...

Pros:

- Has raised over a million dollars for charity. Mark is helpful.

- Helped complete 13 make a wishes for the Make A Wish Foundation. This means a lot to the kids and their families.

- Could easily do charity live streams to get money for any programs that need more funds or start to pay off USA's debt.

- Mark has close group of friends that care about him and will look out for him. They can help him with the election campaign. Some of his friends live in other countries which gives him diplomatic ties.

- Mark has done many collabs with other youtubers. Mark is probably good with working with others. This is positive people skills.

- Is Royalty. Hes king of the squirrels

- Is aware of the danger of butt stabbers. Its smart to realise danger could come at any moment.

- Reverse gyrates and pelvic thrusts out of bathrooms for safety. Markiplier realises the importance of being safe.

- Has a microwave that can turn anything into popcorn. This could get rid of trash build up and feed the homeless all at once.

- Has a good singing voice and a skilled dancer. He could entertain anyone who comes to visit from other countries. No need to hire someone another entertainer.

- Is great with animals. This is always a good trait and needs no further explanation.

- Has 15 million subscribers on youtube. He could easily share ideas on how to make things better and get input from citizens in a quick fashion. Speeches would get much more views on youtube than on the normal news stations.

- Sometimes wears female clothes. How progressive.

- Was in school to be a biomedical engineer. Mark is probably very smart.

Cons:

- Didn't finish college. Being a drop out is a bad influence on the children. He could of been an engineer!

- Mark is 27. Hes not old enough to be president.

- Has ADD. Might make it difficult to sit in long meetings or sit down and fill out paperwork.

- Has a microwave that can turn anything into popcorn. If someone pisses Mark off, they might be turned into popcorn... Someone goes missing? Maybe they are popcorn. Evidence of criminal activity? Now its popcorn!

- Darkiplier: Mark's evil alter ego.

- His journalist reporter alter ego, Wilford Warfstache, has killed people (Nobody actually died. Its fictional acted out deaths for videos.).

- Might yell and cuss too much. It could offend people and give them head aches.

- Sometimes wears female clothes. Some people might not take him seriously or might try to hurt him.

- Mark would probably not be able to make youtube videos every day if he was president. People would miss his game play and sketch videos. People would miss the collabs he does with his friends and other youtubers.

- Mark couldn't go to as many conventions during his term as president and might have to stop completely. It take up time he could be working on other things and is dangerous to have the president in such public crowded events.

3. Arnold Shortman (Hey Arnold)

Arnold is a 4th grader who lives in the fictional city of Hillwood. He stays with his grandparents in their boarding house along with Czechoslovakia immigrant Oscar Kokoshka, Oscar's wife Suzie, demolition worker Ernie Potts, and Vietnam immigrant Mr Hyunh. Possible secret agent Mr. Smith, Chicken owner Mr. Purdy, and lawyer Lana Vail previously lived in Sunset Arms (the boarding house) as well. Arnold has been living with his grandparents since he was young for complex reasons. Arnold's father is a scientist and a doctor who visits the most remote parts of the world. Arnold's mom is a doctor and botanist. They met in the jungle of San Lorenzo. Thats also where they got married, and had Arnold. They originally left the jungle to raise their child in a safer environment. However, a deadly disease outbreak happened in San Lorenzo and they needed help. Arnold's parents went to the jungle to treat them and never came back.

Pros:

- Was born in the jungle during a volcano eruption. Its an amazing story to tell others. Arnold is a surviver. Its a miracle that hes with us today.

- Is respectful of his elders, peers and teachers. He will stick with you even if you are considered to be bad luck. This will get Arnold far in life.

- Has a kind and optimistic personality.

- Would make an excellent ambassador to a foreign land according to an Aptitude Test.

- Is good with animals.

- Loves helping people and can fix most problems in a quick amount of time. Just imagine how quickly Arnold could fix USA's problems.Maybe World peace could even exist with Arnold as president.

Cons:

- Was born in the jungle during a volcano eruption. He was not born in USA!

- Hes only a 4th grader. Hes not old enough to be president.

- His football shaped head might scare people in real life. What is causing this deformity? Is his head or brain swelling? Is Arnold healthy enough to be president?

4. Mario (Super Mario)

Mario is a brave, helpful and kind hearted man with a strong sense of justice. He is strong willed and will go very long distances to complete anything he puts his mind to. He is willing to put his own life in danger to help others and to do what he feels is the right thing. Mario is also a hard working man with many different talents. He can build things, he can fix things, cook, he can Mario is also great at sports, a skilled driver, and not a bad fighter. He can lift objects much heavier than himself, isn't easily hurt physically, as well as has a lot of stamina and agility. There is not many down sides to this hero and is an easy character to love.

For those wondering, the picture is taken from the Japanese anime film "Super Mario Bros: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach". This was made in 1986 and was before his shirt and overall colors were swapped to their current look. The film also had Luigi wearing blue and yellow instead of green. Since it was the first film adaption of Mario brothers, was produced by a studio that was in co-operation with Nintendo, and showed a lot more backstory/motives than the american Mario cartoons made in the 80s and 90s, it is worth a watch. This is a big part of Mario history even though many are unaware of its existence since it was made for Japan only. Its was release in select Japanese theaters and was later available as rental tapes in Japan. There was no home version made. This film is very rare to find even in Japan and any copy found has be sold for hundreds. Thankfully, a video ripped version can be found online. Quick warning though: If you don't know Japanese, you'll either have to read a lot of Subtitles that may or may not be completely accurate since there is no official subtitle version or listen to fan made english dubs.

Now Back to the article...

Pros:

- Has many job skills. He has been a carpenter, plumber, doctor, construction and demolition worker, brewery worker, cement factory worker, grocery store worker, chef, animal trainer, olympic athlete, theme park owner, toy maker, teacher, sports referee, tv show host, and Archeologist. Why not add President to this list? Hes a hard working man with many different life skills.

- Knows how to use a gun and bombs but can fight very well without it. Mario is pretty skilled in combat.

- Fought in the Vietnam war. Mario is a war hero!

- Cleaned up the pollution and graffiti on the tropical island of Isle Delfino and near by locations. Mario cares about the environment.

- Is well traveled. Mario as visited many places and learned about many cultures. This will help him deal with other peacefully.

- Has been in outer space multiple times. He freed the natives of the planet Quirk from slavery. He stopped Bowser destroying the planet of a Mushroom space colony. Mario has also stopped Bowser from ruling the universe, rescued peach from bowser in space and saved lost lumas. From those experiences Mario will have a better idea about what to do with nasa and their funds thanks to his first hand space experiences. Setting up more space bases, setting up a space colony and learning more about space aliens could all happen with Mario as president!

- Has time traveled multiple times. Mario is probably aware of why certain civilizations, laws, ideas, and inventions didn't work and with that info, he can better come up with ideas on how to make things better for the world.

- Knows how to fly planes and space crafts.

- Is a skilled dancer and knows how to juggle. He can entertain people from other countries who come to visit.

- Is in amazing shape. He can do high jumps, flips, and spins. Everyone wants a healthy president!

- Has a unique close friendship bond with a dinosaur species called yoshi. As young babies Mario and his brother Luigi were stolen by Kamek. They fell down from the sky to Yoshi's Island and it was the Yoshi's who saved them. Without the Yoshi's there would be no Mario and Luigi. Its a cool idea knowing that we would have some dinosaurs on our side.

- Has friendships with a few people in leadership positions. Those people are Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Daisy of Sarasaland, and Rosalina watcher over the universe. For him, his relationship with Peach goes a little more beyond friendship in the cutest of ways and no matter what, even if that changes at some point, they are most likely to stay in each other's lives. Having such close ties to other rulers will benefit Mario as a ruler. If the United States has a disagreement with one of their countries, Mario can most likely deal with it in a more peaceful manner.

- Has saved royalty. Mario has saved Princess Peach Toadstool many times and Daisy a few times. Mario has also saved seven Sprixie Princesses, and Prince Dreambert. Hes a brave hero and other countries respect Mario. Why wouldn't you want a leader that other countries like?

- Mario has save many people both royal and not. He is a brave and persistent hero that will travel very very very far to save others in trouble. Once Mario puts his mind to something he keeps at it will amazing will power.He puts his life in danger for others. Who wouldn't want Mario on their side?

- Mario has perviously saved a past president and the White House from danger ( The Adventures Of Super Mario Bros. 3). For Kootie Pie's 16th birthday she wanted America he birthday so Bowser has the president captured and steals the white house which he warps to Castle Koopa. Bowser sinks the White house in Mushroom Sea. Thanks to Mario and his plumbing skills, he is able to get the white house, attach pipes together and use vales to pump the water out of the White House which raises it to the surface. They are also able to put the White House back in DC. Who wouldn't want the man who save the United States to be our next president?

- Mario helped the president more than once actually. The president was giving the soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev a drive by tour of Brooklyn New York when the street started to flood (The Super Mario Bros. Super Show). Mario and his brother Luigi go down into the sewers to save the day. They are able to find and fix the source of what was causing the flood. Afterwards at the White House, the president awards the brothers with a golden plunger and a golden wrench. Mario is a very helpful person who cares about the safety of others more than his one safety. That is a rare trait that most people don't have.

- Is known to throw great parties (Mario Party game series). He could easily entertain other leaders.

- Is good at sports. Mario likes tennis, golf, baseball, soccer/football, basketball, dodgeball, volleyball and hockey. Mario is athletic. This is more proof that he is healthy.

- Is skilled in kart and motocross racing. What can't this guy do?

- Sometimes dresses in animal costumes while on a mission to save others. They help give him certain powers such as flying which help out a lot. Its very resourceful of him and they make Mario look pretty cute. Mario could use these power ups to save himself and others from snipers and terrorists if his life is put in danger or if DC becomes under attack.

Cons:

- Might be addicted to mushrooms.

- Possible PTSD due to war, and flashbacks of adventures he went on to save people. That a lot of trauma for a person to handle.

- Might annoy others with telling too many of his pasta themed puns (Super Mario Bros. Super Show) .

-Sometimes dresses in animal costumes while on a mission to save others. Some people might not be able to take Mario seriously because of this. Some people hate furries and would never vote for Mario because of dressing like this even if it gives Mario power ups. Some people have tried even killing others for dressing in fursuit.

- Has been in jail (Super Mario Sunshine and The Super Mario Bros. Super Show). While this doesn't make it illegal for Mario to be president, many people will probably use this against him in arguments, speeches, phone banking, and candidate commercials. There is also people who would strongly prefer not to have a convict as president.

- Mario has had a lot of jobs... Does Mario owe a lot of money in college loans for all the degrees and certifications needed to get those many jobs? Or worse... Does Mario do jobs hes not qualified to do and lie that he is qualified? Does he have fake degrees and certification papers? If so, that is against the law.

- Even though Mario is an Italian American and has saved the president a few times, he spends a lot of his time outside the USA. Travel is good. Learning about other cultures is good. And its pretty important to form bonds with other nations. However, you can't help but wonder where Mario's loyalty lies. What would happen if he had to choose between The United States and The Mushroom Kingdom? In fact, in episode fourteen of "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show" Mario and Luigi are given the option to go back home. They were going to originally take the option to go back to Brooklyn New York, but when Princess Peach gets captured by Bowser in front of them as they were about to leave, Mario decides they should stay because of the Princess. This episode pretty much solves that question...

- Has killed and hurt many people ( Koopas, Goombas, ect. ) Most people don't want to vote for a murderer.

- Mario invented cars for the cave people. This lead to traffic jams (Super Mario World tv show). Mario doesn't always know what is best for other people.

- Mario invented phones for the cave people and they got addicted to talking on the phone and use their phones too much ( Super Mario world tv show). Thankfully they weren't smart phones or it could have been a much worse addiction. Mario didn't learn from his first mistake at giving the cave people more modern technology. Mario can make the same mistake multiple times and not learn from it.

- Mario has had many parties that probably cost a lot. He also invites enemies. Wario is his sometime violent rival- gets invited. Koopa Kid is on Bowser's side - gets invited. Donkey Kong put Mario's ex girl friend Pauline in danger and he was forced to save her - gets invited. Boos, Dry Bones, Hammer Bros, Koopa Troopa, shy guy, are all on Bowsers side and have been long term enemies of Mario - gets invited. Kamek, he stole Mario and Luigi when they were babies and if it wasn't for the yoshies who knows what would have happened to them - he gets an invite. Bowser also gets invited after all he has done. How does Mario think its a good idea to play games with his enemies or even have them so close by?! With all the times hes had to save Peach, wouldn't he realise having people who helped bowser so close by is probably not a smart idea? Its a danger to him, his brother Luigi and the Princesses.

- While go kart racing, Mario and his friends sometimes race on public roads or in busy cities streets. Street racing is in most cases illegal. Even people watching street racing can be arrested in some places.

- According to "Super Smash Bro. Melee" Mario is 26 years old. If thats his true age, he is not old enough to be president.

5. Kenny McCormick (south park)

When your options are a Giant Douche or a Turd Sandwich, you deserve someone better. Vote for Kenny

Pros:

-Can't be assassinated. Kenny can't die or stay dead for long. He always eventually gets reborn and comes back to life. While he can remember his deaths, most characters can't. Enemies wouldn't be able to get rid of our leader. This is the main benefit to having Kenny as president.

- Although Kenny commonly used bad language and talks about sexual things, as his super hero character "Mysterion", Kenny has shown that he can be very serious and mature. He looks after his little sister Karen while this alter ego and attempted to convince his parents to take better care of their children and themselves.

- Kenny is selfless and will die for others to help/save them even though they won't remember him doing so. Its the thought that counts.

- Has dressed as a girl and pretended to be a princess a few times. How brave and progressive of Kenny. He would get a lot of support from the trans community, drag queens and maybe the gay community. Other people may this think its very brave, it would impress them so much that they would vote for him.

Cons:

- Muttered speech that can't be understood well. This happens when Kenny's hood is up which is most of the time. If they can't understand him, they won't understand his arguments, speeches and new law plans.

- Commonly uses bad language and talks about sexual things. Most people don't want a president who acts like this in public (unless you are a trump supporter that doesn't mind when people talk about women in derogatory ways, don't mind when someone touches women in inappropriate ways when they don't want to be touched, and don't mind when a guy say that they would be with their own daughter if they were not related because she is hot...Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.)

- Will do and say questionable, and disgusting things for money. Citizens of the the United States and other countries's leaders would take advantage of this if they found out.

-Has dressed as a girl and pretended to be a princess a few times. Citizens who hate drag queens and trans people would not vote for Kenny. Some people might claim this is gay of him, this would cause haters of gay people to also not vote for him.

6. A Box Of Tissues

Pros:

- its been there for you when you were a crying emotional mess.

- Its been there for you when you were sick.

- It can clean up sticky situations.

- Is quite fashionable. Many different box designs can house tissues.

Cons:

- Has no gender. Many people are not progressive enough to vote for something that both has no gender and isn't a human.

- Box of tissues might not even be old enough to be president. It won't answer us.

- its ok with being used. It doesn't even fight back. We can't have a president that is perfectly ok with being used.

- Is ok with being called an object! Dude.. Don't let them call you an object!

7. Frisk (Undertale)

Frisk is the eighth human to fall into the underground. There is three different ways their story can play out but we are going to pretend this is pacifist route Frisk. While in the underground where many creatures want to cause them harm, they do whatever they can to make the monster feel better and deal with the problems peacefully. Along the way on their journey to get back home, they end up making lots of friends with the monsters due to Frisk changing the monsters' minds about humans and because of being such a nice person. Even though the adventure is tough and they almost die more than one, Frisk is able to make it to the surface and free the monsters. Frisk them agrees to take on the very tough job as ambassador for the Monsters. Despite being just a child, they have done so much with their life and and made life changing situations for the world.

Pros:

- Is very determined. Determination will help get even the toughest of tasks done.

- Doesn't judge others for the way they look. A good thought process that more people should have.

- Is quick at making friends.

- Easily forgives others. Better than holding onto hatred.

- Helped Tem "pay 4 Colleg" Temmie needs a lot of learning to catch up to the level of those around him. Education is good. Helping others is good.

- Saved the underground and brought the monsters to the surface. They are a hero to monster kind by showing them not all humans are bad and by freeing them from the underground. They can now interact with other humans and live semi normal lives.

Cons:

- Why were you at Mount Ebott? Don't you know how dangerous it is there?! Its the only known way to get to the underground. This is the barrier that separates humans from monsters. They were forced into the underground after the war of humans and monsters. If you payed attention in history class, you would know that Frisk! But instead you explore the mountain like a dumb-dumb and fall to the underground. Where in the world are your parents child?! They need to watch you better! You're lucky you weren't killed because boy did some of those monsters try!

- Saved the underground and brought the monsters to the surface. We can't even get along with others of our own kind, do you really think throwing monsters into the mix is a good idea? We have racism, sexism, terrorism, and war but yea, sure, lets bring in new species of creatures. People will probably try to kill them or capture them. Nasa or the government will come for them thinking they are outer space aliens. They might do horrible, painful experiments on the monsters to learn how they function mentally and physically. Or the government will hold them captive and force them back into the underground. Papyrus, even if offering someone spaghetti, still looks like an undead skeleton. People will think he is some kind of zombie and go after him. If Sans uses his powers to help his brother, they will be seen as an even bigger threat. Toriel and Asgore are giant goat things. They would probably be considered demons and people would keep far away from them. Religious groups would try to hunt them down. Muffet the spider and her spiders would be killed by exterminators pretty quickly. They would be seen a a big threat to any near by town due to Muffet's size so a whole army of exterminators would team up to get rid of them. Ghost hunters would go after Napstablook. Mad Dummy would probably be seen as possessed so religious leaders would add him to the list of things to go after. The only ones who will get along decently well are the dog people. Frisk, you doomed all these monsters. The world can't handle their existence yet.

- Easily forgives others. Aww you tried killing me and all the friends I've made while in the underground. Its ok. I forgive you Flowey. Its ok Alphys. I know you created a robot that wants me dead, and made horrible mutations in your lab made up of monsters you were supposed to help but I'll still be you're friend.

- Doesn't talk much. I also don't physically talk much so I first hand see and know how annoying that can be to the other people around me.

- Too young to be president. While we don't know Frisk's age its pretty safe to assume they are a child due to the way other characters interact with them.

- Has killed some or a lot of people in a different timeline. Most don't remember resets but its an unsettling to think about when brought to your attention.

8. Telephone The Dutch Angel Dragon (Ino89777)

Dutch was a horse of her's she had as a child. He had a habit of throwing off riders which she didn't know at first. He threw her off but she kept at it and over time they formed a very strong bond. Dutch trusted Ino like no one else. On August 1st of 2006, Dutch developed a severe disorder of the digestive system called equine colic. He had to go through surgery and Ino stood by his side through out the whole operation. After surgery, Dutch, still groggy, put his head on Ino's chest. She help his head and assured him that he would be ok. Dutch was lead back to his stall and ivs were attached. The clinic wouldn't let Ino stay and as she left, Dutch called out to her. By the next morning Dutch had passed. She had lost her beloved pet at only 13 years old. A few days latter her and Dutch's story was printed up in the paper. People out of the kindness of their heart donated. They had enough to pay the vet bills and get a new horse. Although Ino was very heart broken she looked at other horses none of which she felt a close enough bond. One day while looking at horses, she was approached by a bay horse in the field. It had chosen her and they took him home. “With everything that has happened, I feel like I must have some guardian angel watching over me in the sky; I think I will name him Sky.”

The "Dutch" in Dutch Angel Dragon comes from the name of Ino's first horse. Ino is the creator of this species. It all started in 2009 based on a dream Ino had in addition to being inspired by her first horse. The character of Telephone was made in 2010 with a story called "Fallow Me" Which was posted on Fur Affinity. In January 2011, Ino began a trade with PhoenixWolf where they would each make a fursuit head of each other’s characters. A few months afterward, PhoenixWolf surprised Ino at Midwest Fur Fest by giving her a full bodysuit to match the head. The bodysuit was made with help from Bella of AutumnFallings. In 2013, PhoenixWolf wanted to update the fursuit. She made Telephone a new head in a chibi style which is the Telephone most of us are used to seeing today. In 2014 Ino released the Dutch Angel Dragon species to the public and made it ok to have fursonas of that species. Now hundreds if not thousands of Dutch Angel Dragons exist world wide. My own main fursona "Monster" would not exist today if it wasn't for Telephone, Dutch the horse and Ino89777. Dutch Angel dragons mean a lot of many people. They make people feel happier and if you are having a bad day, watching videos of Telephone on youtube can make you feel a little better.

Click here to learn more about Dutch Angel Dragons: http://www.dutchangeldragons.com/

Pros:

- How can there be war when we are looking at something so cute?

- Ino invented and brought a whole new species of dragon into the furry fandom/community. Now there are hundreds if not thousands of Dutch angel dragons worldwide. My own main fursona would not exist if it wasn't for Telephone. Ino has brought us quite a bit of happiness.

- Is very social and friendly.

- Has the odd ability of making people instantly feel a bit happier.

- Telephone is a popular furry. They have pretty much a celebrity status to some other furries. Telephone/Ino is someone many people look up to and want to meet some day. Where every they go, people fallow or crowd around them to see what they will do.

- while in fursuit, they will not speak any human languages but telephone is pretty good a communicating with gestures and bird like sounds. The bird calls can be mixed together to sound like certain words at times which is both very cute and impressive. Out of suit, ino is great at communicating while on panels or in interviews.

Cons:

- Some people hate furries and would never vote for Telephone. Some people have tried even killing others for dressing in fursuit.

- Won't speak any human languages while in fursuit. Speeches as telephone would be entertaining but not very useful because we wouldn't likely understand their plans.

- Ino isn't old enough to be president.

9. The Fonz / Arthur Fonzarelli (Happy Days)

Arthur Fonzarelli had a tough upbringing. His father abandoned Arthur and his mom while he was young. Fonz has been raised by his Grandma since he was six years old. Nothing was easy for him and he had no close family looking out for him. Fonz ended up dropping out of high school because he felt like it was a waste of time, got a job as a mechanic. Over time the Fonz becomes friends with Richie Cunningham and he eventually moves in with Richie's family by renting out a room above their garage. At first they didn't trust him due to his rep but after awhile he truly became a part of the Cunningham family and gains the closeness of family that he never had before. As time goes on Fonz is able to turn his life around. He gets his high school degree by attending night school. He later became an auto mechanic instructor at Jefferson High School and adopts a orphaned boy named Danny.

Pros:

- Works an a Auto mechanic. If the president limo breaks down, he can fix the issue.

- Good morals most of the time.

- Treats others with respect. Respects adults, peers (in most cases), women, the disabled, and people of different races.

- Sticks up for those who can't defend themselves and often protects his friends. If you need government help, he probably has your back.

- Martial arts training. Fonz can defend himself if someone tries to attack him.

- Can fix technology with a nudge or a bump or pound of his fist. If any of the White House computers are down, Fonz can probably fix them. No need to hire a computer repair person.

- Has dated many women but he seems to treat women with respect.

- Adopted an orphan named Danny Corrigan, Jr.

- Learned sign language to communicate with a woman working at the municipal power company. Fonz is considerate of other people.

- Hired a man in wheelchair to work in his garage. Is for equal employment despite any disabilities the other person might have even though it wasn't a law yet.

- Pro racial integration, has spoken out about his dislike about how people treat them and tryed to get people to change their minds. Fonz is also friends with African Americans even though that was highly looked down to at the time and won't date anyone who doesn't treat black people equally. There is no doubt in my mind that if Fonz was a more modern character, he would fight for black lives matter and could probably help in a peaceful way.

Cons:

- High school drop out. Thats a bad influence on the United States children. He actually dropped out twice. Although Fonz eventually got a high school diploma through night school, it took a long time for him to get his act together.

- Has dated many women. He has their numbers written in the walls in the bathroom at Arnold's...

- Gets in physical fights. There is way less tolerance for that now adays even if he was fighting to protect himself and his friends.

- The police don't like him because of his rough past and rough image. If police don't like him than there must be something wrong with the the Fonz.

- Thinks he is never wrong and has trouble admitting his mistakes. Not good traits for a leader.

- Former member of a gang called "the falcons". Gangs are another red flag even if it was something that happened in the past.

- The character of Fonz is too young to be president.

10. Link (Legend Of Zelda)

This normally silent hero is Link. Link is generally brave, kind, wise, and selfless. He will put his own life in danger to help the people he cares about most. He normally has light colored hair, blue eyes, and elf like ears and is either a child or teen. However, Link varies between games because there are many different Links over time. He is not one person. Long story short, Link is a legendary hero with many reincarnations that are similar to each other in looks, personality and skills. In some cases they are related to the legendary hero by bloodlineAnother passed on trait is that most of the time Link is left handed and naturally skilled at a wide variety of musical instruments even if it is his first time playing them. Link is often very skilled at fighting with weapons and a few Links are good at physical combat. Some links can use magic. In most cases, Link has to save princess Zelda and stop the evil Gannon.

Pros:
- Skilled fighter with many different weapons. Link knows how to fight in war if he has to.

- Knows how to ride horses and is good with animals.

-Musically talented. Link could entertain visiting leaders.

- Reincarnation. If link is a good president, we could have many links as presidents since they are different people.
- Is a legendary hero. People know that they can expect good things from this guy.
- Defeats evil and saves people both royal and not.

- Experiences. He has do a lot at such a young age, just imagine how much he could complete by the time that he is an adult.

Cons:

- "Well excuse me, Princess!"
- Doesn't talk in much in most cases. It will be hard for him to explain what he wants to say in arguments and speeches.

- Is way too young to be president. Hes only a child/teen.

11. Patrick Star (Spongebob)

This fun loving sea star is Patrick. He can do nothing longer than anyone else.

Pros:
-Can sculpt furniture out of sand. Thats pretty impressive.

-He'll "take our problems and push them somewhere else". This quote is the sole reason I included Patrick...

- He is very physically strong. Patrick and lift his rock house and even the road. If danger comes he can lift DC or The White House and put it somewhere else.

Cons:
- He'll "take our problems and push them somewhere else". People don't want our problems pushed on them.

- Has no current job.

- Isn't considered to be smart. Not a good fit for president.

- Lazy. Wouldn't get much done or go to meetings or show up to speeches.

- Eats a lot of junk food. Is bad for his health and a bad influence on the US children.

- In an episode named "Rule Of Dumb", Patrick became king of Bikini Bottom, He abused his power. That one pretty much speaks for its self.

- Isn't human. Most people probably don't want a sea star for president.

12. Roger Smith (American Dad)

Suggested by Michelle Rogers: https://www.theodysseyonline.com/@michellerogers6

Roger landed in Roswell incarcerated by the CIA in area 51. Tired of living in the laboratory, Roger escaped his holding cell. This triggered a lockdown investigation. Stan tracked him down in a kitchen and was about to kill him before Roger pleaded for mercy. Then the security team threw a grenade into the room and Roger pulled Stan to safety. They slid down a laundry chute into a waiting truck. Grateful to Roger for saving his life, Stan offered to repay him in any way at all. This lead to Roger joining to the Smith family. As a means of convincing the family to let him stay, Stan presented him as a birthday present to Steve for his tenth birthday. Roger has been with the Smith family ever since. To go out in public Roger has a wide variety of alter egos. It also helps him deal with the boredom of being home most of the time.

Pros:

- Ricked death to save Stan even though they just met. Very brave.

- Many alter egos. Coming up with them shows a lot of creativity. Remembering the details of each takes a lot of thought and memory power. Making the character believable takes acting skill. For all we know, one of his alter egos could already have been president.

- Wears woman's clothing. Having female alter egos is very progressive.

- Invented disco

- Super speed. He could get a lot done if he cared enough.

Cons:

- Self centered

- alcoholic

- Childish and Sometimes throws tantrums

- Can be spiteful, greedy, and cruel.

- Adopted a group of foster children and used them as his personal slaves for his vineyard business.

- Previously was dictator of a Caribbean island.

- Being nice is actually harmful to his health and almost caused him death.

- Has stole things, done drugs and murder.

13. Eliza Thornberry (The Wild Thornberrys)

Suggested by Cassandra Leach: https://www.theodysseyonline.com/@cassandraleach

Meet Eliza Thornberry. This lovable ginger girl is always up for adventure. Her family travels all over for her parent's nature show which gives Eliza plenty of opportunities to explore. While in Africa, She meets a Shaman that gives her the ability to talk to animals.

Pros:

- Can talk to animals.

- extensive zoological knowledge.

- Has saved animals from poachers and trappers.

- is great at making new friends and getting along with others. This is a very useful skill.

Cons:

- Is only 11. Eliza is too young to be president.

- Trying to talk to predator and dangerous animals has put her and her best friend Darwin the chimp.

14. Mr Bean

Suggested by my online friend Lara Vehar.

This most silent, suit wearing, funny, oddball is Mr. Bean. He is an innocent and often childish British man who has very unique ways at dealing with everyday ordinary situations that are pretty entertaining to watch.

Pros:
- Dresses well. Hes already got the suit.

- Works as a guard at London's National Gallery. That is a pretty important job.

- Is an innocent and often childish man. while this won't help him as president, its pretty refreshing to see that there is still good, pure and innocent people out there. And although he means well when trying to help others, it doesn't go as well as hopped. But its the thought that counts right?

- While visiting Southsea, Mr Bean accidentally obtains a baby. He treats the baby to a fun day at the fair. While this was irresponsibly dangerous, Mr bean thought he was doing the right thing and the baby made it back safely its mom. It was probably a fun day right?

- Saved a kitten from a tree.

- Attends church.

Cons:

- Not American. So even if he is old enough, Bean can't legally be president. Its probably for the best but you got to admit, Mr Bean as President would be pretty amusing.

- Rarely talks and when he does he mutters. How is he supposed to give speeches?

- Has odd ways of doing simple tasks. While entertaining, it would be very inefficient for getting done important tasks as president.

- A teddy bear named Teddy is Mr Beans best friend and he acts like the teddy bear is alive. for example he buys the bear Christmas gifts. Teddy is also used in Bean's silly antics. I bet Teddy would be vice president. If something were to happen to president Mr Bean we would have a stuffed animal as president...

- Has drove his car while sitting on an armchair on the car's roof. Thats not safe and probably against the law.

- Mr Bean damaged the painting "Whistler's Mother". Destroying expensive art work is not going to get you many votes.

- In 1992, Bean runs for Parliament as the single member of "The Bean Party". He makes fun of the ruthless campaigning used by some activists. Mr bean buys votes by offering them money or televisions. He attaches his poster on a coffin that is being taken to a waiting hearse. After being spotted by a press photographer, Mr Bean gives a lollipop to a random child, then forcibly takes it back after the photographer leaves. Lastly Mr Bean replaces the ballot box with one full of votes for only himself. The other five running candidates receive no votes while Bean receives more than 24,000. If he acts like this while running for Parliament, we can probably expect similar actions as a Presidental candidate.

- Destroyed a rare book. Thats knowledge we will never get back.

15. Lisa Simpson (The Simpsons)

Suggested by Austin Lambright, a friend from high school who I haven't seen in a long time.

This 8 year old has quite a bright future ahead of her. She is one of the Smartest people in all of Springfield! She is constantly getting As in school, has very high IQ level, Is fluently bi-lingual, and a skilled saxophone musician. Lisa is also brave enough to speak up about what she feels is right, cares about world issues, women rights, environmental issues and the treatment of animals.

Pros:
- Good grades and seen as an overachiever. This will probably help her get into a good college and hopefully have a good future.

- Has an IQ of 156 or 159 or 167. They haven't been consistent with this but either way, she has a high IQ. She could even change her own diapers as a baby. The average IQ is between 90 to 110. - Strong sense or right and wrong. Will help her decide what to do in tough situations.

-Concerned about world affairs. More people should be.

- Supports PETA, and is against animal cruelty.
- Feminist. If for Woman's rights.

- Believes in non violent means of getting a job done as well as non violent protest.

- Can play Saxophone, trumpet, piano and guitar. But Saxophone is her favorite. She loves playing jazz ad is pretty skilled at it.

- Can speak English and Italian fluently. Knows some Spanish, Swedish, French and German. Thats a lot of languages and it will help her talk with other world leaders.

- Skilled stage magician.

- In one of the episodes that show possible future timelines, Lisa is the first straight female president. She attempts to make the USA less broke by raising taxes and legalizes weed for Bart. The Simpsons seem to predict a lot of real future events such as: faulty voting machines that choose things you didn't click on, smart watch technology that lets you use your watch like a cell phone, hamburger earmuffs, iphones, virtual reality gaming, a baby translator, Stage magicians getting attacked by their white tiger, video communication like facetime and skype, and Trump running for president. So... Who knows, maybe Lisa being president will some how come true too.

Cons:

- Is 8 years old. Lisa isn't old enough to be president.

- Is jealous when someone gets a better grade or is better than her at something. Somebody is always going to be better at you at something. Thats just a fact of life. She needs to get use to this.

16. Cthulhu

Suggested by TwistedPig from the band Corpseworm (previously known as Insidious Slaughterhouse). Hes also an online friend of mine. You can view their band page here: https://www.facebook.com/CorpsewormBand/?fref=ts

Deep under Pacific Ocean, trapped within the strange stone city of R'lyeh, lies dormant a being of unimaginable power. To even look upon his form may cost you your sanity. When the stars align, he will awaken and reclaim control over Earth. Why vote for the lesser of two evils when you could have full evil? Cthulhu is fictional cosmic entity created by H.P. Lovecraft in 1928.

Pros:

- One of the few on this list that is old enough to be president.
- Has higher levels of support thanks to being worshiped by some cults both fictional and real.
- Can talk telepathically. He would be able to get info out to people quickly if he chose to do so.

Cons:

- Is hundreds of meters tall. Probably won't fit in most places he is expected to give a speech at or in the White house.

- Looking at him instantly makes the viewer insane. We won't have enough room in asylums to hold that many people.

- Will destroy Earth, civilization will fall apart and chaos will take over. Most people don't want that to happen

Are you voting? Who are you voting for this election?
