With the presidential campaign constantly being featured on every media source imaginable, a mom blogger could decide to put her name in the running for presidency. This would be the best way for her to gain exposure on her blog, travel the world, give her homeschooling children a great lesson on the American government, and, with her loyal readers behind her, take the White House. If a mom blogger decided to run for presidency, the Presidential race would look different in more than one way, and in some ways, better.
1. Her Announcement to Become a Candidate would be the Most Unique Ever Seen
She would announce her candidacy between errands, right outside of the grocery store. With a child constantly clinging to her leg and another on her hip, she would give firm, inspiring answers to her interview questions before leaning down to listen to the whispers of her toddler.
"Excuse me," she would explain while rushing her children back into the grocery store, "we're potty-training."
2. The Support She Would Receive would be Generous, but it wouldn't Sway her Opinion
A mom blogger running for president would not be swayed by financial supporters because, as the disclosure clearly states on her blog:
"This blog may contain affiliate links, but all opinions belong to me."
Since announcing her candidacy, she will have received hundreds of offers for advertising space on her blog, sponsored guest posts, and products for review.
"What am I going to do with this?" she would ask one reporter, holding up a gadget that would make the water in her toilet bowl light up. "They say it's supposed to help my husband have better aim when peeing at night."
3. She Talks about How Much Easier her Life would be as President
A mom blogger would look forward to becoming president so someone else could take care of cleaning the house and scrubbing stains out of children's clothing. When a reporter would ask her if she is concerned about her young family's needs when she becomes President, this mom blogger would respond confidently:
"I have 5 kids and you seem to think that I can't juggle it all. Actually, being the President would give me some free time. Someone else would tend to the stains in my children's clothes, do grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning. Without those chores in my life, I would say that gives me about 12 extra hours of time in the day to act as your President."
4. The Other Presidential Candidates would have Something to Say
Trump wouldn't think that a mom blogger running for President would be a good idea. He would say something like: "Mom bloggers have flat hair. They need to spend more time on their appearance and not their kids."
Rubio would be found kissing the mom blogger's baby's head saying, "With babies like this, everyone should be pro-life."
Clinton would be heard supporting the mom blogger turned politician, "This is someone who has worked countless hours for free as a blogger, when she should have been making minimum wage at least."
5. Her Answer Regarding Foreign Policy would Go Viral
When questioned about her knowledge on foreign policies, she would reply,
"Listen, I can give you the answer I rehearsed, or you can understand that
I survive church every week with my 5 kids and even though it's rough, my hair has yet to turn grey. Not much is harder than getting your baby and toddlers to stop fidgeting and talking for an hour without throwing Cheerios at the lady in front of you."
6. Her Social Media would be the Most Popular in the Campaign
The mom blogger would trend on Twitter since announcing her campaign, would still post on her blog three times per week, homeschool her children, and keep her house (more or less) put together. Her blog subscriptions would spike tremendously and her posts would get an exponential amount of shares and likes on Facebook and Instagram. When asked how many people she reaches in a single post she would respond:
"I reach about 53.15 million people on each post. That's 1/6th of the population in America," as she smiles humbly, she would add, "Oh, and please join us for our Facebook party next week. We're doing this in lieu of a convention so stay-at-home moms can attend too!"
