Authors as Presidential Candidates

It's barely 2015 and already things are heating up for the presidential election of 2016. Ted Cruz, senator from Texas, just announced he's throwing his hat into the ol' election ring. Personally, I like him, but it got me thinking what if an author became president? What would that be like?

Stephen King
Terrorists shmerorrists . . . no one's going to mess with a man who pens murder and death in horrifically creepy ways.

Nicholas Sparks
I know Obama was supposed to "bring us all together and tear down barriers," but yeah . . . how's that working out for us? If Sparks were pres, just imagine the warm fuzziness that would blanket the country.

Veronica Roth
With her no-nonsense, hard-hitting characters such as Tris or Four in Divergent, this woman would single-handedly whip congress into shape.

Dr. Seuss
Who wouldn't want executive orders to rhyme? Yeah, I know he died like twenty years ago, but honestly, some of those senators have been in office so long, one wonders if a few of them are actually breathing anymore or just taking up chair space.

J.K. Rowling
British accent. 'Nuff said.

There are my top five pics for authors as presidential candidates. Share yours in the comment section. Go on. Be brave. I don't wield a politically correct axe around here.
