14 Things That Would Happen If A Typical Dad Ran For President
Hollywood Reporter

With the election coming up, it seems like the debates and controversies over our two presidential candidates never cease. Republicans and Democrats can't find a middle ground. Social media blows up with the latest news that this candidate said this or did that. People go into an uproar simply because of a tweet or type up long rants about what's still wrong with this election.

But during times like these, as the news on the television serves as white noise in typical, middle-class homes, there is one person in your household who always seems to know what's best. Who can conjure up the perfect solution to what's really going on in this nation, despite his non-existent past with politics.

...your dad.

What if your dad ran for president this coming election?

1. He’d Win The Presidential Election With One Round of Arm Wrestling

Hands down, he's ridiculously competitive.

2. D.A.D.D. Would Be A National Movement

Just one of the ways to lower the crime rates.

3. He Would Make Complaining A Criminal Offense

While Dad is president, time-outs would appear on your record.

4. His Cabinet Would Be Full Of His Wife’s Baked Goods

And I suppose he would share them with the other 16 guys who showed up in his cabinet, too.

5. His V.P. Would Be In Charge Of Recording The Sports Games On TV That He Misses While Working On Political Things

The president always knows how to utilize all his resources and problem solve.

6. He Would Never Allow Anyone Else To Mow The White House Lawn Besides Himself

Even though he's president, he's still a stickler about how the lawn looks.

7. His Speeches Would Open Up With A Dad Joke

"Dad, I'm bored."

"Hi, Bored, I'm President Dad, and I'll give you a job to do."

8. He Would Be Late To His Speeches Because He Took Too Long In The Bathroom

That's where all his most effective and revolutionary ideas come from.

9. He Would Need His Cheap Little Reading Glasses To See The Teleprompter

Which he can never seem to find. (p.s. Dad, they're on top of your head)

10. He Would Never Wear Suits—Only Polos, Light-Wash Dad Jeans, And Tennies With Tube Socks

Comfort is key to being successful.

11. There Would Be A National Grilling Competition Day

Of course, it wouldn't be a high-"steaks" competition.

12. His Favorite Recliner Would Be Behind The Desk In The Oval Office

Again, comfort is key to success.

13. When Asked Tough Questions, He Would Turn To His Wife Instead Of Answering Them Himself

She's always right, right?

14. He Would Try To Fix The National Debt With Duct Tape

In Dad's eyes, duct tape is a life saver.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
