      When I was a kid, Scholastic did a “kids pick the president” poll. It was 1984 and John Glenn was running. I voted for him because he was an astronaut and The Right Stuff had come out a year before so I also thought he was basically Ed Harris. (I was 7.)

      Jesse Jackson won. I was disappointed at the time. I’m not a fan of Jackson’s, but I’d still have taken him over 4 more years of Reagan.

      Yeah, but maybe one day President Kelly? He seems like a interesting person, though I don’t know all of his policy stances
