I am making some new rules for the next president.

[Garion_55]

The first rule is no Twitter. The next president is not allowed to be on Twitter we don't need to know every brain fart they have at 3 in the morning while sitting on the toilet.

The next rule is the president has to be someone who has actually stepped inside of a grocery store at some point in their life.



Okay that's all I have for the moment. Those things just really really really irked me this evening. Feel free to add your own rules.

[Ohiogal]

1. I would say I'd like to have a president

NOT born into money.

[Garion_55]

2. Good one.

No more Rich elitist entitled 1 percenters. Let's have someone who has actually worked for minimum wage before.

[Ohiogal]

3. Exactly.

[RDANGELO]

4. No international business person.

Too much room for conflicts of interest or even blackmail. Trump was angling for a tower in Moscow why he was running for president.

[Ohiogal]

5. Highly educated.

Am tired of this embarrassing doofus we have now

[ecstatic]

13. Yes, and tech savvy, considering the cyber warfare age we're in now.

I'm hoping the right person will emerge soon.

[thegoose]

6. Not Repukelican

They don't care about this country and they're lizards from hell.

[Garion_55]

7. That's a given LOL

I think this country will do quite well with whatever non Republican we end up with. But please God don't let another one of those fucknuts in office for the next at least 60 years

[spanone]

8. They should be in possession of their faculties.

[Garion_55]

9. I have thought about some psychological testing Maybe?

I know that when it comes to democratic candidates that none of this is really serious. We know whoever it is will be smart and kind and nice and dedicated to the job and all that. But it's still fun to toss these out there like they need to be addressed because of this current turd in the White House

[JCMach1]

10. Someone younger than 55

[C_U_L8R]

11. Three lies and you're out

[A HERETIC I AM]

12. A Lawyer. A lawyer please. The last Republican elected to the presidency who was a lawyer....

(note I said ELECTED, so this excludes Ford) was RICHARD FUCKING NIXON!

They keep putting up total assholes for president. It's amazing.

Democratic Presidents in my lifetime (born 1959)

John F. Kennedy - War Hero, BA From Harvard, Served as a Member of the House of Representatives and as Senator from Massachusetts.

Lyndon Baines Johnson - War Hero, BA from Texas State, Attended Georgetown Law School (no JD) Served as a Member of the House of Representatives and as Senator from Texas, VP to Kennedy

James Earl Carter - BS from the US Naval Academy, Worked with Hyman Rickover during the initial years of US Nuclear propulsion system development, Member of the Senate of the State of Georgia, Governor of Georgia.

William Jefferson Clinton - BS from Georgetown University, Rhodes Scholar to Oxford, Juris Doctor from Yale. Attorney General of Arkansas, Governor of Arkansas.

Barack Obama - BA From Columbia University, Juris Doctor from Harvard, Editor of the Harvard Law Revue, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Senator from Illinois.

Compared to the roster of Republicans, it's clear we tend to have the smart ones.
