It was a hard pick. I think Musk is more self-focused than even Zuckerberg. I would say they're both D- candidates for me. I think I would pick whomever is more likely to enforce Civil Rights, support Welfare, abolish student debt, and etc. I see Zuckerberg more likely to do that than Musk. I think Musk has some advantages. For instance, I think he might be more progressive innovatively. Both are worse than Biden, in my opinion, as president.

Could you imagine having Family Guy-Style cutaways during press conferences?

"President Griffin, what are your thoughts on the Federal Reserve raising interest rates?"

"This reminds me of that time I ate a sour raisin with Prime Minister Johnson!"

Was really close to picking Jesus. Was also really close to picking Stan from American Dad.

@ConservativeElector2 would you still support Jesus for president if he's pushing a Bernie Sanders-like platform -- welfare for the poor, free healthcare, -- things he'd likely advocate based on his actions in the Bible, for instance.

Yes, because I value Religion more than worldly politics.

Then I guess my question would be why wouldn't you apply Jesus's likely advocacies to your politics if it seems like you'd follow them should Jesus become president, especially since you value religion more than worldly politics.

If the Lord comes up in this world again, conventional politics would not be a major issue anymore I guess. And it wouldn't be needed anymore, as I believe we had reached the last step of human development, the Kingdom of Heaven. For all the good people, I guess, Judgment Day would improve our lifes. No more fighting, no more arguing, just paradise.

As long as this has not happened we have to do what comes closest to our vision of that Heavenly Kingdom. I don't believe Sanders' policies are helping here. I try, and I really mean that, to always think about what's best for the people around me. If I argue for tougher sentences for heinous crimes or other conservative stuff it's not just about what I prefer. I think these things would help our community as a whole, but that's my approach and others have theirs. That's legitimate but I often disagree.

So even if we assume Sanders is arguing ''heavenly policies'' he is not Jesus himself and certainly does not claim so as well. In the end I have to disagree with his approach because I have my own, which is somewhat modeled by other politicians who I prefer. However, I also don't believe Ted Cruz for instance would be preferable to Jesus as a leader. It would make no sense for me to ''vote'' for a human politician over my savior. A human led government can never be better than the Kingdom of God. That's what I believe.

Assuming eligibility is handy.  Imagine the questions about Jesus' birth certificate!

 

Doesn't Bluth spell his name Gob?

It's not about being good or bad.  It's about having faith.
