Picking My Next President

  • Someone who is competent. They don’t have to be insanely intelligent. I just want someone who understands what this country needs and can figure out how we’re going to get it.
  • Someone who is not hungry for power. That’s stupid considering we’re talking about people who are running for the highest office in the land, but somehow, I think I can tell who’s in it for the power and who’s in it because they really have noble intentions for the country.
  • Someone new. Fuck traditional politicians.
  • Someone who is capable of doing something about our stupid weather and other superhuman feats like eliminating corruption and poverty.
