Presidential Candidates As Parks And Rec Characters

The good, the bad and the Trumps.

Presidential Candidates As Parks And Rec Characters
NBC & Reuters

If you are a Republican, you will most likely hate this. But let's be honest, Parks and Recreation is a liberal show, so you should have seen it coming. As for those who lean more towards the left, you will find all of these comparisons to be scary true.


Trump is Jamm.

( NBC & Reuters)

Firstly, Trump is Jamm simply because they both have awful hair. Secondly, because they're both idiotic a**holes that do not belong in a place of power. While watching both of them on TV, you may wonder to yourself, "how the hell did they make it this far?", because they obviously have no clue what's going on. This is most likely due to the fact that they are very self-absorbed.

It won't be too long until Trump start's saying, "you just got Trumped!"


Rick Santorum is Marshall Langman.
(Husband of Marsha Langman: The anti-gay penguin activist.)

(Scott Olson & NBC)

Can you guess who compared homosexuality to Beastiality? Well, it wasn't Marshall Langman, the morality crusader / homophobe who is clearly attracted to men. However, these words did come from another homophobic mouth - Rick Santorum's! Both of these men seem to be on a divine quest to rid anything that violates the ethics of the "traditional family."



Lil Sebastian is Joe Biden.

(NBC & Esquire)

Why is Lil Sebastian, Joe Biden? Well for starters, everyone loves Joe Biden and can't deny it. Secondly, because if Lil Sebastian were to come back from the dead, he would most likely be the next councilman of Pawnee. Hence, if Biden were to come back to the political life he may very well be the next president. If not, we understand, Joe and we will sing, "bye bye, lil Joe Biden. We'll miss you in the saddest fashion."


Jeb Bush is Bobby Newport.

(Paul Sancya/AP & NBC)
What do these two lovely boneheads have in common? The fact that they have an advantage in the polls because of their daddies. While their campaigns may have all of the glitz that comes with your dad being a very influential entity, their actual platforms are not so grand.


Carly Fiorina is Lindsay Carlisle Shay.

Carly Fiorina is just like Lindsay Carlisle Shay from Eagleton. Both of them are all for privatization. Carly would love to repeal Obama Care and Lindsay would love to Privatize the parks, so that only Eagleton kids can play. To put it bluntly, they really both love the idea of exclusion and believe that we should prohibit the interaction between the wealthy and the poor.


Rand Paul is Ron Swanson.

(Reuters & NBC)

The fact that they are both libertarians makes Ron Swanson the obvious option for Rand Paul. But is he as much of a man as Ron Swanson? That question is up for debate.



Dr. Ben Carson is Herb Schaefer.

(Cinema Blend & Huffington Post)

There's no denying that Dr. Ben Carson is a smart man, but there is also no denying that he is quite delusional - just like our friend Herb. If you can't remember Herb, he's the cult member that believes the world is about to end every couple of months due to the wrath of Zorp the surveyor, who is a 28-foot-tall lizard-god savior that will burn everyone's faces off. As ridiculous as that idea is, Dr. Ben Carson's craziness is not far from the same level as Herb Schaefer's. This thought of mine was solidified when Carson made the statement : "You know Obamacare is really I think the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery."

Hillary Clinton is April Ludgate.

You all thought Hillary was going to be Leslie right? Wrong! Hillary is the perfect April and here's why - Hillary is frequently the main target to be bashed by the media and by her political opponents but frankly, she does not give a damn. Also because she's got some sarcasm in her. This was seen when someone asked her if she had "wiped the server" in regards to her "huge email scandal"- she responded by saying, "with a cloth or something?"Just like April, she just can't contain the sass sometimes. Another reason why April is Hillary's spirit animal is the fact that under the surface they really care and are willing to fight for what they believe in. And if she were to lose, she would probably handle loss just as elegantly as April...


Ted Cruz is The Douche.

(Getty Images & NBC)

Plain and simple. Ted Cruz is the Douche.

Bernie Sanders is Leslie Knope.

(Jacquelyn Martin/AP & NBC)

Plot twist - Bernie Sanders is Leslie Knope! The major reason why Bernie is Leslie, is because just like her, he's a huge Underdog - but a fierce one. Also because they're both just trying to save the places that they call home from corruption, environmental degradation, and idiots like Jamm (AKA Trump). Unfortunately, for both of these political geniuses, the public does not give them the recognition and respect that they deserve and instead are looking to the idiots for the answers. WAKE UP PAWNEE / AMERICA... Think for your selves and choose someone that actually loves this country and ALL of it's people.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
