Best political quote of the day

I would rather have anybody else be the president of the United States. Anyone. I would rather pick somebody from the phone book.

– Ted Cruz’s former college roommate speaking about the presidential contender

But this makes me think: This could be a process for selecting the next president of the United States! Pick 100 random people from a phone book. Then have a TV series called “President” where all the people contend against each other in various competitions. Whoever prevails in the end becomes president. This would be vastly better than the system we have now. Vastly.

Not only would we get a better president, it would actually be fun. Don’t we deserve to have a good president and also enjoy the process of selecting them?!!
