    Look, I’m all for equal representation and equal opportunity for everyone. The US had a black president already, which is awesome, but I’m not thinking the next step here is to “recently convicted felon”. Maybe try for a woman as president first?

    Just saying.

      There’s a whole long LIST of things we can try long before settling on “first felon president.”

      • First Woman President

      • First Openly Gay President

      • First Asian/Pacific Islander President

      • First Albino President

      • First Teenage President

      • First Werewolf President

      • First Teenage Werewolf President

      • First Robot President

      • First Robot Teenage Werewolf President

      • First Normal President

      We could go on and on too.

        Women, Asian and Pacific islander people are all normal. I propose a woman like that who is normal, who multiracial and LGBT. Usually mommas know what is best for the kids. So why not the ultimate love momma? You mess with us and we’ll f-u up. You work with us and we’ll love you to pieces. So I propose momma bear. Even better if she’s well educated with a medical PhD and…but I mean, why not a hotel maid? My mom was a hotel maid and she’s got the best heart and mind you’ll ever meet. Don’t need a PhD to be president.

          Not holding our leaders to a higher standard is how we got here. I want my leader to be much smarter than me.

        How about a young guy with truly progressive ideas? I find it hard to believe no one ever gains enough traction with social media the way it is, or maybe it’s because social media is the way it is. Or maybe people like that just don’t get into politics.

        Off topic but I’m not ok with a robot president, because it would mean we made fully conscious robots, which is a recipe for disaster. We need to build flexible and smart tools without an ego, not an actually superior iron race.

        This is ridiculous! We will never have a teenage president because you have to be 35 to run. Proof the whole thing is rigged.

        The gnostics wouldn’t accept any president. I’m expecting a response in relation as to why i chose a cult.

          This reminds me of one of those furries who always has to interject in any role playing situation that they’re furries and their character is a furry despite nobody in the gaming session actually asking or encouraging that person.

      Yknow there’s a strong argument to be made had Hillary won, she would have been circumventing the 2 term rule

          Oh cmon. If Bill hadn’t married her, he’d be a retired lawyer in Little Rock today. Any other first ladies end up Secretary of State in another administration a decade later?

            Is there more to the argument because it looks like you’re kinda jumping from “she became secretary of state” to “she would’ve been 3 term”. She was qualified to be president despite Bill.

              Imagine misunderstanding the implication she was running the show the whole time this hard

                  No. Most people have a functioning brain and noticed themselves, and it was clear and direct to begin with.

        Under the same logic, wouldn’t Biden also be ineligible because he was also in the white house (as vp) for 8 years?
