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.

(Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images & NBC)

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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
