Jessica Rabbit.

All those "women can't be president" douchebags would shut the fuck up and start becoming "nice guys" which would be cringy but at least it would get them to stop sabotaging the rest of us.

Keith David's president from Rick and Morty, because of the soothing baritone.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I mean we could just use Keith David in general right? Like would it necessarily have to be that version from Rick & Morty?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We could but I mean he's already got experience

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's got VP experience if we go with the Saints Row version

Nice try big politics! You wont get my opinion!

Joking, I'd vote for the roadrunner.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

I'm voting for coyote. His approval rating is catching up to roadrunners, I'm sure of it.

I'm going to cheat a little and say Captain Kirk from Star Trek TAS

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Janeway from Prodigy. Or maybe somebody from Lower Decks, but I can't decide which.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Out of the big three captains, Janeway would likely make the most capable president. Kirk would constantly be trying to fist fight politicians, Picard would quickly be bored with the day-to-day and would vanish to go work on an archeological site somewhere.

Sisko would throw Mitch McConnell off the roof of the White House, then fall off of it himself.

Princess Caroline. She can make deals, is passionate about her work but also her family. She would make this country function and function well and she'd never stop till it was done.

The coyote from Road Runner. He comes up with plans, some simple, some complex, and they always fail to work. Oh wait…

I want the whole band as president. Joint office shared by five dudes who just want everything to be black and metal all the time.

At least they're open about wanting people to die.

Well. There was a tos cartoon so spock.

Spock would likely make a terrible president, purely because he’d be surrounded by illogical politicians who are constantly trying to backstab him. You need a president who is capable of not only being level-headed, but also capable of playing politics when it matters. The unfortunate truth is that politics often requires playing the long game, instead of simply finding consensus and getting shit done right away.

Do comic books count? If yes I'd say Spider Jerusalem from Transmetropolitan. If no, General Hunter Gathers from Venture Bros or Dale Gribble from King of the Hill. Maybe Uncle Duke from Doonesbury.

I don't think he'd want the job, but he would do it were he asked and give it 110%. He's no nonsense, a facts-based decision maker, and he listens to people's issues and makes fair decisions if it's what you want to hear or not. He's also not too full of himself to admit when he's been wrong. He seeks out experts on matters outside of his experience and respects their opinions. He loves his country and looks to do right by those that entrust him with a job.

He would also probably be unfortunately remembered as a terrible president a la Jimmy Carter, as he'd likely trust a number of people he shouldn't to keep their word, he'd be too compromising for a lot of people, and I don't think people would like his "lack of personality" they'd get from his public persona. I think Hank would be a top-notch cabinet member though! I would totally support him for any of a number of different ones.

There are many, many cartoon characters I would vote for over Trump, all the way down to other villainous incompetents like Dick Dastardly or Elmer Fudd.
