Pope Leo for president, 2028! [View all]

He doesn't take shit from anybody, has far more respect in the US and worldwide than the repuqs will ever have.

And Catholic Republican voters wouldn't feel like traitors by voting for a Democrat, because he could run as an independent!

Even the non-Catholics believe in his message of love over war.

I know, the question is, am I serious. I can't answer that question tonight, but it is an interesting thought.
