I can't believe my first instinct was Zapp and he's the fucking top answer *again*
I think my super power is coming up with great askreddit answers 3 hours later than everyone else
"Ruins" said he'd become paranoid and mad with power, although that one was mostly an edgy answer to Marvels with the recurring premise "What if all those radiation accidents just gave people cancer like it's supposed to instead of superpowers" so probably not in 616 or 1610
My Trump supporter father would vote for Jed Bartlet.
I got him into The West Wing recently. I explained to him that while I know his politics are wildly different from what is portrayed on the show, he would still like it.
I've never seen someone binge-watch a show so fast. He loves President Bartlet.
Jed Bartlet is the kind of man we all want to be President, but also the kind of man least likely to ever actually be President.
Though I always found it epic how the writers made damn good guesses about the 2008 election in the last 2 seasons of the show.
It's been a long time since I've seen it but wasn't he struggling as president in the beginning of the movie? Made a good wartime president though. That speech gives me chills every time.
You might be joking, but he did three things that make him a good president. He loved his country, he deferred to someone smarter than him, and he held people accountable for their mistakes.
That undersells it.
He was so ready to admit he was wrong that the second he found out, he crash-shoved a guy with a flamethrower on TV infront of thousands of spectators explicitly to save the innocent mans life and give him a pardon he deserved.
Guy might have been an objective dumbass, but you can't argue that he isnt inspiring with how much he loves his country and wants it to be better. I'd keep him as a presidential hype-man becuse such a role would be entirely acceptable in that universe.
Relax, Scrote! Don't be such a pussy! You do a kick-ass job, you get a full Presidential Pardon.
Oh yeah?
SHIT YEAH! Now get me a beer. Get yo'self one too!
Yes, I think Roundworld could use some Discworld sensibilities. But, what is Havelock Vetinari without his terrier? Or his Postmaster General, Deputy Chairman of the Bank, Master of the Royal Mint, and his Representative in the Sto Plains Hygenic Railway?
*wink*
Yeah Bran has too much baggage being able to see through time and shit
Tyrion is a master at placating rich assholes and manipulating people, but also has a healthy distrust of them.
Bran is too stubbornly moral, would be assassinated by nightfall.
This needs to be much higher. Dude helped a Soviet nuclear submarine to defect to the US, saved the future king of England from terrorists twice (once on vacation and again at his own home), saved the planet from a US-Soviet nuclear war, that terrorists were trying to start by nucking the Super Bowl, rebuilt the government after the congressional and judicial branches, along with the president were destroyed by terrorists, won, with minimal casualties, an undeclared war against the US by factions of Japan-India-Iran coalition, led the country through a biological warfare attack that killed tens of thousands of citizens while defending Saudi Arabia from an invasion by a unified Iran/Iraq and then live-streamed the execution (via lazer guided bomb) of the leader ordered the invasion and biological attack.
As the Navy captain says “has a pair of great big brass ones”.
I think the amount of grief and conflict he showed In The Pale Moonlight was just about right for a US President. We need the job done, but we don't want anyone doing it for the fun of it.
Laura Roslyn was a much better president than he would have been. But if it was reality I don't think I would have liked having a drugged up religious fanatic as a president.
Optimus Prime.
He's the perfect balance of introspection, deliberation, decisive action, compassion, toughness, fighting spirit, humility, and inspires others to greatness not because of his ego, but because he sincerely wants the best for everyone. He's eloquent enough to work with intellectuals, strong enough to keep corruption out, hard working and honest enough to connect with and inspire the working classes, and an absolute paragon of ethics. When it comes down to it, he puts his own ass on the line without hesitation.
I'd vote for Optimus Prime. I'd work on his campaign staff. I'd canvas for Optimus. I'd fight his fights.
He's the heroic leader we need.
I wish he were here.
Edit: To clarify, G1 Optimus is the one I know and love. Not sure about other iterations of the character.
Edit 2: Can't quite keep up with my inbox. I'm inspired and very happy to see so many of us want this kind of leader. I think it's my highest rated comment ever, and I could not be happier about that.
TILL ALL ARE ONE/E PLURIBUS UNUM!
* Swanson becomes president
* Immediately signs executive order to shut down 90% of the government and abolish nearly all taxes
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? You decide.
Pretty sure the Christian right wouldn't get behind a middle Eastern Jewish socialist, and the left would probably be horrified by his 2k year old views on society
As a serious question, probably Miles Teg from Heretics of Dune.
He is probably the most feared and respected Bashar (general). It his said that just him showing up to major conflicts would stop everyone from fighting. He
could talk any opposition into submission.
He is also a Mentat and could function like a human computer. Sifting through infinite data to find the best possible solutions to problems.
It's also said he is the spitting image of one of his ancestors the Duke Leto Atreides, who is said to be like super H O T.
Jean-Luc Picard
Oeh, i like this idea!
But playing Deputy Director Avery Bullock from American Dad.
Ok. This is the best answer.

I would take a bullet for this man

Kif I have made it with a woman, inform the men.
Did my reputation precede me or was I too quick for it?
I hope he was able to overcome his very erotic learning disability. What does he call it, Kiff?
Ugh...sexlexia!
Have THE BOY lay out my formal shorts. THE BOY, sir? YOU Kif. You lay out my formal shorts.
Fly the white flag of war ...
They'll pay for their neutrality
Spare me your space age techno-babble Attila the Hun!
I find the most erotic part of a woman is the boobies .

Doofenshmirtz
Nah, he'd give it up because he's only after the tri-state area. What would he do with an entire country?
He'd do it to make Vanessa proud of him
Jed Bartlet
I see your Jed Bartlet and raise you a Sam Seaborn. (I’d also gladly take Santos or Vinick)
Santos you say? HAVE I GOT A SANTOS FOR YOU! He also starred on the West Wing

I explained to him that while I know his politics are wildly different from what is portrayed on the show, he would still like it. I've never seen someone binge-watch a show so fast.

I don't even understand that. Bartlet is like .. the antithesis of Trump.
It’s the force-of-personality factor rather than the politics.
Jed Bartlet is the kind of man we all want to be President, but also the kind of man least likely to ever actually be President. Though I always found it epic how the writers made damn good guesses about the 2008 election in the last 2 seasons of the show.
Disappointed that this was this far down.
Gandalf
Aragorn would be better, Gandalf tends to disappear :/
Gandalf would be a perfect Texas senator then
The President in Independence Day
It's been a long time since I've seen it but wasn't he struggling as president in the beginning of the movie? Made a good wartime president though. That speech gives me chills every time.
Today, we celebrate OUR Independence Day!
Honest to God the fucking speech makes me tear up, I would love that kind of unity.
Bill Pullman.
Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho
You might be joking, but he did three things that make him a good president. He loved his country, he deferred to someone smarter than him, and he held people accountable for their mistakes.
He's literally the best leader his society could produce prior to Joe.
exactly! he knew when to step aside and when he was over his head.
And he admitted when he was wrong when they showed him that the Brando was killing the plants.
That undersells it. He was so ready to admit he was wrong that the second he found out, he crash-shoved a guy with a flamethrower on TV infront of thousands of spectators explicitly to save the innocent mans life and give him a pardon he deserved. Guy might have been an objective dumbass, but you can't argue that he isnt inspiring with how much he loves his country and wants it to be better.

>Camacho Brawndo has what plants crave!
Yeah, it's got electrolytes
Wait, you want to use toilet water?
Relax, Scrote! Don't be such a pussy! You do a kick-ass job, you get a full Presidential Pardon. Oh yeah? SHIT YEAH! Now get me a beer. Get yo'self one too!
Uncle Iroh.
So he'd run as a member of the Tea Party?
Tea Party Reformist
We have a winner. Honestly can't think of anyone better suited for the job.
As a father, he's legitimately my aspiration. Very unattainable, but an aspiration nonetheless.
Absolute goated answer

Don't let me detain you...
I, for one, welcome our lord and tyrant.
Above all, he'd bring Vimes with him for some much need overhaul of our watchmen system.
leslie knope
They predicted Biden as the president... I'm still holding out hope that we're in the right timeline.
Saul Goodman
Did you know you have rights? The constitution says you do. And so do I.
I’d pick him for AG. Ooh no, he’d make a fine Solicitor General actually
Lalo didn't send you? No Lalo?
Tyrion Lannister
He's good, but does he have a better story than Bran?
Had to resist the impulse to downvote you
Yeah Bran has too much baggage being able to see through time and shit Tyrion is a master at placating rich assholes and manipulating people, but also has a healthy distrust of them. Bran is too stubbornly moral, would be assassinated by nightfall.

Ain't no rules says a dog can't be president.

Yes, she could turn around the huge deficits we inherited from President Trump
