With the primary voting season approaching so quickly, tensions are high in the political world. Candidates have released attack ads, rifts between different camps have widened, and Twitter has become even more of a hot mess than usual. The amount of political information you need to process can be overwhelming at times. What better way to lighten the mood than with Disney? So, here's how I think various Disney characters would vote in this election.
1. Belle.
Belle would've been pulling for Scott Walker from the start. She would've seen right though his lack of popularity and charisma and recognized the solid, intelligent ideas he had underneath. However, since Walker dropped out a long time ago, she would probably settle for Marco Rubio,
2. Rapunzel.
Rapunzel is a free spirit and a bit of a rebel -- after spending 18 years in a tower, she doesn't like confinement. However, she's also a bit naive and just wants everyone to get along. So of course she's voting for the candidate who wants less government and no wars -- Rand Paul.
3. The Beast.
The beast, being a prince, thought ruling was his birthright, but he is definitely not the guy you would picture being the leader of a nation, at least no one in his kingdom thought so. Sounds like he could empathize with Jeb Bush.
4. Esmeralda.
Esmeralda is strong, sassy fighter lady trying to make it in a world in which she is an outsider. Because sassy, fighting outsider ladies have to stick together, Esmeralda would vote for Carly Fiorina!
5. Mulan.
Another strong, sassy young lady trying who had to fight to fit in. Looks like Mulan will be joining Esmeralda on Team Carly!
6. Mother Gothel.
If Rapunzel is standing with Rand, Mother Gothel is voting for the opposite, Hillary Clinton. Both are old ladies desperately trying to appear youthful and relevant. They claim to care about the well-being and safety of young women, but they really just want to take away liberty.
7. Tiana.
Tiana's motto -- "Fairy tales can come true, you gotta make them happen, it all depends on you," lines up with the idea of the American dream. So, of course, she's voting for the candidate who epitomizes the American dream -- Marco Rubio!
8. LeFou.
LeFou isn't necessarily a villain, but he does follow a villain around, singing his praises, refusing to stand up for anything except popular public opinion. Kind of reminds me of a certain Texan senator. LeFou would definitely be on team Ted Cruz.
9. Frollo.
Anti-immigrant, actually sexist, mocks disabled people, claims to be a righteous man but doesn't follow a single Biblical principle, thinks he is the greatest -- am I talking about Minister Frollo, or his obvious presidential pick, Donald Trump?
10. Snow White.
Snow White just seems like she would be a bleeding heart liberal, so she would vote for John Kasich, who embraces some bleeding-heart values regardless of being a Republican. The two have a lot in common: both are unpopular, unspectacular and, on a stage of fresher faces, utterly forgettable.
11. The Sheriff of Nottingham.
Obviously, the Sheriff of Nottingham would vote for Bernie Sanders because Sanders reminds him of his ally, Prince John. Both are corrupt old politicians with a penchant for high taxes.
