10 Movie Characters Who Should Run For President In 2020

6. Nurse Ratched - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

A career in politics would be something of a busman’s holiday for Nurse Ratched, who spent years running a psych ward and finding new ways of leaving her patients numb. Her preferred method involves playing elevator music all day long, so she should feel right at home in a popular culture that cherishes the likes of Justin Bieber.

Cold, heartless and tyrannical, this passionate advocate of shock therapy maintains order at all times, lobotomizing those who stand in her way. A dyed in the wool Republican, she’s also dab hand at rigging votes in order to get what she wants.

With absolute power over her charges, she’s able to revoke privileges, humiliate patients and keep them doped up on anti-psychotics, practices that drop morale to an all-time low. This ultimately leads to a suicide, or as the alt-right would say, an “efficiency saving.”
