As more and more people are deciding who they will support in the upcoming presidential election, I am left candidate-less. While I will never claim that I know what's best for the country, nor will I discuss my personal political opinions, I will say that I know there must be some better options out there.
With mere months standing between us and a new president, it is time for Americans to make decisions, register and prepare to cast their votes. If I had it my way, these are the names that would be on the ballot.
1. Tina Fey.
Tina Fey has conquered acting, directing, writing, producing and all around being basically perfect at anything. I'm pretty sure she could handle four short years in office.
2. The Most Interesting Man In The World.
I just don't see how this one could go wrong. Who would mess with that face?
3. Leonardo DiCaprio.
This could be Leo's best role yet! Also, he's sort of an awesome person and a super involved activist for the environment. He has an Oscar now, he can do anything.
4. Ryan Lochte.
He's dumb as dirt but I wouldn't mind looking at that face for four to eight years.
5. Leslie Knope.
No, not Amy Poehler, Leslie Knope. If Americans give even one crap about how their country is run, they would make this happen.
6. Morgan Freeman.
Why has no one else suggested this yet? 'Nuff said.
7. Ellen Degeneres.
Okay, this one might actually work. Yes, Ellen is an actress but she's done some real good in the world and while her views may not be supported by every, single American, no one's views are supported by every, single American. Vote Degeneres 2k16.
8. John Lahey.
Now here's someone with plenty of experience needed to be president. Lahey, the Quinnipiac University president, is filthy rich, well dressed, makes appearances at sporting events and is occasionally seen doing a good thing then disappears for a while. Those are the requirements, right?
9. Justin Trudeau.
He seems to be doing just fine in Canada, maybe he can give us a few pointers or something.
10. A Dog.
I want more than anything to play fetch with the leader of my nation, and you know deep down you do too.
11. My Mom.
She's a good cook and she knows which clothes to put in the dryer and which to hang up without Googling it. That's just about all I'm looking for in a leader. (Hi mom.)
