Roseanne Barr
Upside: 2012 run as minor party candidate gave her campaign experience. (She actually received 48,000
votes.)
Downside: After Trump, country will be looking for more filter, not less.
Jeff Bezos
Upside: Amazon founder now richest person in history — so politician could buy Koch brothers, instead of other way around.
Downside: Under his name on the ballot would be message beginning “Customers who voted for Bezos also voted for . . . “
Nick Saban Upside: Serious demeanor. Wears same expression on thirdand-short that Kennedy wore during Cuban missile crisis.
Downside: Recruiting habits hard to break. Do we really want 18-yearold high-school grad with 4.4 speed as secretary of state?
Mark Hamill
Upside: Role as Luke Skywalker has made him pop-culture hero. Waving light saber around on movie set gives him more military experience than Trump, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton combined.
Downside: The hood would look strange at state dinners.
Judge Judy
Upside: Has realityshow credentials similar to Trump’s.
Downside: Might appoint herself to Supreme Court.
Fiona, the baby hippo
Upside: Adorable Cincinnati Zoo animal with global internet following. Proven ability to mingle with heavyweights.
Downside: Hippo aggression includes biting with huge teeth and flinging dung with tail. So, much too genteel for Washington.
