13 Movie Characters Who Would Be A Better President Than Jeb Bush

2. Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher) - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

doctor doom for president

Leading the Republicans would be a busman’s holiday for Nurse Ratched, who spent years running a psych ward and finding new ways of tormenting her patients (her preferred method involved playing elevator music all day long). 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 a Neocon would say, an “efficiency saving.”

Pros:

1. Cold, heartless and tyrannical

2. Loud and authoritative voice

3. Maintains order at all times

4. Advocate for shock therapy

5. Lobotomizes her opponents

Cons:

1. Looks like a young Annie Wilkes

2. Erm...

3. Would you settle for Vice President, ma'am?
