Is it to late to start over and pick a new set of people?

15 People Who Would Be Better Presidential Nominees Than Clinton And Trump

Last month this country officially chose Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump as the Democrat and Republican nominees for president. At this point, most people are a little shocked wondering how it all came down to them, and wondering if it's too late to start the election process over. However, I would argue this is not the best this country can do, there are plenty of people who would make a better nominee than these two. Here's my top 15 people whom I believe would be better presidential nominees than Clinton and Trump:

1. James Corden

Press conferences are a little boring, but as president, James Corden could have Carpool Karaoke press conferences.

2. Dumbledore

Dumbledore took care of Hogwarts through some pretty tough times, and I think Americans would be willing to put their vote behind this headmaster.

3. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

Besides the fact that The Rock could probably take down our enemies single-handedly, he's also played the president a couple times on "Saturday Night Live," so he's basically qualified for the job.

4. Paul Rudd

Paul Rudd is a national treasure that all men, women and children love. He would no doubt have a 100 percent likability rating, and he ages so well he would probably look the same even after his presidency.

5. Tina Fey

Tina Fey knows what it's like to be a woman in charge, and she's a better Sarah Palin than the actual Sarah Palin. It's time to make America funny again.

6. Olivia Benson

People have praised Donald Trump for being the "Law and Order" candidate, but Olivia Benson would be the ultimate "Law and Order" candidate. This is a female nominee everyone can get behind.

7. Chad from the "Bachelorette"

Chad has definitely had his bad moments, but on the bright side, he kind of learns from them. Even if he might be a young Trump in the making, at least he is easy on the eyes.

8. Tom Cruise

This election has had a lot of talk about who will protect the nuclear codes, and if anyone has seen "Mission Impossible," then they know Tom Cruise will protect those codes! He might be a little on the crazy side, but even if he has to scale a building or hang off the side of a plane, he will protect this country no matter what.

9. Ryan Gosling

Technically Ryan Gosling is not qualified to be president because he is Canadian, but maybe we could bend the rules just once.

10. Lin-Manuel Miranda

He played a founding father on stage for a year in "Hamilton," so he's bound to have picked up some lessons about governing a country. Another plus of a Miranda presidency is having cabinet rap battles, which would definitely make government more interesting.

11. Chris Pratt

Chris Pratt has battled dinosaurs and taken down aliens as the guardian of the galaxy. His resume is fairly impressive, and he was in "Parks and Recreation," so he pretty much has political experience.

12. Batfleck

Batman can be a little dark, and Ben Affleck can be a little crazy, but if you put them both together, Batfleck is presidential material. Plus what nation wants to argue with Batman?

13. Joanna and Chip Gaines

This HGTV couple specializes in remodeling, and this country is giant fixer upper they need to their hands on. They work best as a couple, so we should just elect them both.

14. Taylor Swift

People may call Taylor a liar and a snake, but is she really as bad as most politicians? Instead of going to war, a President Swift would just write spiteful songs about how we are breaking up with our enemies. Plus her squad would be perfect for the cabinet.

15. Deadpool

Deadpool is persistent and when he sets his eye on a goal, he doesn't give up. He would not be a heroic president, but he would put maximum effort into this job.

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.

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.

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.
