This year's presidential election, to say the very least, is truly unlike any other. Tensions are high here in the good ole U.S. of A as voters begin to cast their ballots and the end of the race gets closer and closer. While we have pretty much reached the point of no return in this situation, sometimes it's still fun to imagine "what could have been" when it comes to our next #POTUS. At this point, in my opinion, they might as well open the candidacy to pretty much anyone. Running for the presidency is no joke, and our two most popular candidates definitely deserve some props for making it this far. However, I can't help but think about those out there who I feel could give Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton a run for their money (no pun intended). These are just a few to name, and the more I think about it, the more I strive to somehow make it "real life."
1. Mr. Moseby ("The Suite Life of Zack and Cody")
I understand that this might seem like a bad idea, but hear me out. Mr. Moseby is a man who's got his mind made up. He holds a steady authority that might come on a little strong at first, but I think if you really get to know him you could really see where he's coming from. He teaches valuable lessons! There's no way you could ever watch Season 1 Episode 10 and forget how to put your car in "drive." Long live the PRNDL!!!
2. Leslie Knope ("Parks and Recreation")
This one is a personal favorite of mine. Leslie clearly has her priorities in order and therefore would obviously be a dedicated voice for the people. Not to mention she's got the government experience under her belt along with a deep appreciation for waffles. Honestly what more could you ask for in a President? 3. Dwight Schrute ("The Office")
Okay #TBH I'm pretty much just going to leave it at this photo. If that isn't enough to convince you, then I don't know what will.
4. Raven Baxter ("That's So Raven")
Listen, Raven tells it like it is. Sometimes, most times actually, that's what the American people really need out of a President. It's important to have those people in your life who don't sugar coat anything. And we can't forget the obviously important thing here: Hello??? She's PSYCHIC. How could you not vote for that kind of power in the Oval Office?
5. Danny Tanner ("Full House")
I feel like this one just really speaks to me. Although Mr. Tanner might not be the most aggressive guy out there, he sure knows how to keep a clean slate (both literally and figuratively). He's a hugger. He's the kind of guy to make his bed every morning, which just in itself shows that he's got most of life figured out for himself. That kind of responsibility is a rare gem to find.6. Fran Fine ("The Nanny")
All hail the queen that is Nick at Nite. If you grew up watching this show and didn't end every episode begging your mom to find a nanny like Fran, you have been doing life wrong this whole time. Fran is outspoken, sassy, and doesn't stop until she gets what she wants. She's straight up. She just KNOWS. I mean look at how she lives her life and eats her pizza. Inspiring is an understatement -- who wouldn't kill to see that face on a dollar bill someday?So back to reality we go. It's been real, it's been fun. Perhaps one day we will live in a world where we can create our own personal governments based on our favorite celebrities. A girl can dream, right? When that day comes I clearly will have some difficult decisions to make. But until then we must move on, take what we've got for now and make our voices heard.
