10 Movie Characters Who Should Run For President In 2020

10. Gerry Blake - The Stepfather

Gerry Blake represents a certain America, a nostalgia-tinged, Norman Rockwell vision of the country where folks work hard and deliver homespun wisdom to their kids. This is a guy who just wants to live the American Dream – a house, a job, a wife and kids.

Unfortunately, his tough upbringing means that he has “anger issues”, so whenever his new family disappoints him, he explodes into violence. But he keeps that part hidden from strangers.

When we first meet him, he’s picking up the pieces after killing his wife and stepchildren, casually stepping over their bodies in between changing his appearance and collecting his things. Then he moves to another town, starts looking for another widow to marry, and the cycle begins anew.

The trouble with moving from city to city is that, sooner or later, someone will recognise you. And at all times, you have to keep your stories straight. This is clearly good training for becoming Commander In Chief, where different lies have to be fed to the masses at different times.
