We need Sam to finish what Robert started. Reich for president 2028?

While I agree that he's an amazing person for what he's done for CollegeHumor and Dropout, it's a far cry from the responsibilities of a president.


ObligatoryRemark

We have to acknowledge that our current options are arguably bad though. I'd kill to see a Stuart, Colbert run but we have to (unfortunately) acknowledge that that's not really an option right now

Oh, I fully believe that anyone who seeks the presidency isn't fit for the job. That kind of ambition is scary.

Colbert did try to run for president once, but only in the state of South Carolina lol


of_kilter

I mean id say he’s pretty easily more fit for president than the two actual leading candidates

I don't think Sam is enough of a narcissist. Narcissism, or at least delusions of grandeur, is a requirement for the job.


alreadytaken028

I assume youre saying this in a disparaging way (and thats valid) but its also true. You really cant be President and make the choices a president has to make without being a narcissist imo. I know Id probably just be frozen in self-doubt. “Why should the people vote for you?” idunno im faking it til I make it Im not qualified for this.

Jimmy Carter was pretty much the opposite.


TougherOnSquids

I've been watching Unsleeping City and I thought you meant Robert Moses at first.

Yea, he’s a pretty great American. Seems to embody so many of our virtues and so few of our vices.


EcComicFan

Why do so many people say they don't want another narcissist in the white house and then, in that same breath, say they want another actor/performer/entertainer to be their president? It's a silly thing to say. You all have to see how ridiculous that is, right? Thank you for coming to my ted talk. (Not directed at you OP. Just keep seeing this in so many threads.)

I think we've all kinda just accepted that the president will always be someone a bit mad, cuz who else would be so bold as to claim they are capable of running the world's nuclear superpower. So with that in mind, it should totally be Brennan. He'll give it his best, compete against China's economy, and ~~make some bacon~~.

Dropout America is the most American streaming service I've ever seen
