The 2016 presidential election is coming up fast and it is certainly one for the history books.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, the two most likely candidates at the moment are Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State and a hard-working government employee and politician since 1971, and Donald Trump, a businessman whose success has been misrepresented and whose policies are offensive and vague. I feel very strongly that one of these people is positively unfit to fill the position of President of the United States of America. To be clear, that one is Donald Trump.

Below is a list I have compiled of people I would rather see as POTUS than Donald Trump. Lots of these people are fictional. Most of them are not really qualified for the job. Some of them would probably be very bad at it. But all of them are better people than Donald Trump. So, while only one of them will make it onto my ballot come November, please enjoy this list of people I would vote for before I voted for Donald Trump.

1. Madame Secretary Hillary Clinton

Let’s be honest—this list is in no particular order, but this person was still strategically placed at the top of my list.

2. Leslie Knope

Someone who would be a legitimate contender based on experience, education, and general goodness...If she wasn’t tragically fictional.

3. Andy Dwyer

A step ahead of Trump with his actual experience working in government, philanthropy, and a campaign that wasn’t his own.

4. April Ludgate-Dwyer

5. Donna Meagle

6. Tom Haverford

A better entrepreneur and presidential candidate than Trump!

7. Buffy Summers

8. Willow Rosenberg

9. Jackie Burkhart

About as qualified as Trump, at least she’s not hateful and ready for war.

10. The Doctor


He literally has had thirteen faces that we know of and I still trust him more than I'd trust Trump. Plus, he once served as President of the Universe. There's basically no contest.

11. Donna Noble


12. Sherlock Holmes

 

13. Margaery Tyrell


14. Daenerys Targaryen


15. Brienne of Tarth


16. Jon Snow


17. Tyrion Lannister

Though his morals are questionable, he’s far better educated.

18. Hodor

The man only says “Hodor” and I find what he says more compelling than anything Trump says.

19. Nyota Uhura


20. Lisa Simpson

You’re lying if you say you think she wouldn’t be a good president.

21. Willie the Groundskeeper


22. Joey Tribbiani


23. Kanye West

A real person actually interested in the position! And bonus: Miley Cyrus told Jimmy Fallon she'd run with him as VP.

24. Han Solo


25. Natasha Romanoff


26. Bruce Banner

Green is a much prettier color than orange.

27. Tony Stark


@Donald Trump

28. Michael Scott


29. Dwight Schrute


30. Erin Hannon


31. Kelly Kapoor

 

32. Mindy Lahiri

 

Oh, you're not seeing double. I really did put two Mindy Kaling characters on here in a row. Because any Mindy Kaling character beats this real-life cartoon of a man actually running for president.

33. Big Murder

Okay, you'd have to dig pretty deep into The Mindy Project for this to make sense. But just consider this: His name is Big Murder and I still prefer him to Donald Trump. This should be a clue.

34. Morgan Tookers

Unfortunately, as an ex-con, Morgan Tookers is not really an option...also, he’s fictional.

35. Joan Jett Blakk (a.k.a. Terence Smith)

A real-life person who actually ran for president!

36. Poussey Washington

Experience, education, and a good heart if ever I’ve known one. But also a convict. And also fictional. I didn’t say my list was without flaw.

37. Elliot Alderson


I'll admit that he's somewhat lacking in people skills. Then again, so is Trump.

38. Liz Lemon


39. Diana Prince


40. Peggy Carter

 

Arguably one of the best choices on this list, though I don’t think she’d be interested.

41. Walter White


42. Walter White, Jr.


43. Clay Aiken

Another real person with a not non-existent political career, if not a particularly successful one, but not because he wasn’t up to the task!

44. Santana Lopez

45. Camille Saroyan


Me in November if the unspeakable happens.

46. Gabriel Green

Google this guy. Trust me.

47. Morticia Addams


48. Jane Villanueva

49. Rogelio de la Vega

His would be a presidential term dedicated to self-love. And that sounds good to me.

50. Limberbutt McCubbins

A literal cat.

This November, when you have a choice to make, please choose someone (or something, if you're feeling good ol' Limberbutt here) who has proved to you that they intend to make changes for the better.

Power of Love Letters

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
