Nice. I like your thinking here very much, and a very strong and logical case can be made for exactly what you suggest in the way of altering primary and secondary education funding. But, of course, you'll have little chance of getting yourself elected with well considered and logical proposals alone. Your campaign will also need some Pizazz.
Naturally someone interested in running for political office has to start somewhere. The usual is to start by getting involved as a campaign worker in local party politics. But this is the slow route. As you have stated that you intend to run straight off for President, you apparently have neither time nor patience for the slow route. May I suggest, therefore, something other as a quicker way to put your name before the public. What I have in mind is an entirely different approach, one that has been shown to provide rapid propulsion in the direction of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC. My suggestion would be to follow the model provided by one Donald John Trump. It proved spectacularly successful in his case. It might in yours as well.
He first made a name for himself as as a pathological liar, general asshole and gangster in New York, where he became a widely reviled, household name. He next promoted himself, via his ghost written and largely fictional, book, "The Art of the Deal". The book was a best seller. As a result, he found himself acting the role of a jerk in "reality" TV, a role he proved consummately suited for and one that gave him national name recognition. Somewhere along the line he ditched a wife who accused him of rape and married an immigrant who had overstayed her tourist visa to work illegally as a model. From reality TV stardom he leapfrogged to nomination for U.S. President as the Republican Party's Jackass candidate.
The competing candidates acknowledged he was a total loser, with a hotly debated (on National Television) penis size. This made him the perfect candidate to carry the Republican banner, and no time was wasted in handing him the nomination. He campaigned on the novel idea of better relations with Russia, perking up the ears, as it were, of one the most vile murderers on the Planet, Vladimir Putin, who volunteered to help as a silent campaign partner by enlisting Russian Army hackers to help out where they might. With this and twenty-four-seven TV coverage of the candidate's lies and lawsuits, the American proletariat was happy to oblige by electing him President of the United States. Though it was by the slimmest of margins in the American Electoral College, and by large loss in the popular vote, it was enough to claim "the greatest victory ever" in a presidential election. And in a sense it was, taking into account the quality of the candidate.
"The Donald" will be remembered for this and his many other remarkable accomplishments. He is the first president in U.S. history to have personally declared himself a "stable genius", the first to be twice impeached, the first to stage a deadly attempt to prevent federal election results from being certified, and the first ex-president to be caught red-handed with stolen top secret government documents.
So which of the many singular achievements of The Donald might serve as useful guidance in your own campaign? What can be learned? Is it that notoriety is helpful if you want a chance to be jetted around in Air Force One? Could bragging now about grabbing a few show girl pussies find you, come January 2025, on a flag strewn platform erected in your honor on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol?
Would these unconventional routes into our national conscience be worth considering again? Perhaps. In any case I offer them as suggestions for your campaign. I hope you will accept them in the same spirit they are offered, and with every good wish for your upcoming campaign.
