Recently, I had lunch with a friend. The conversation came around to politics.

Neither of us liked the presidential candidates of the Republican and Democratic parties. It is not just us. A lot of American people do not like the lack of choice.

What to do?

Have one more category on the election form this fall. The category is called “Flip them.” This means you disqualify the nominees for president and vote for either vice presidential pick. Both of these men would gain votes based on their honesty and humanity. My friend agreed that that was not a bad idea.

So what happens to Hillary and Donald? They become the vice presidents.

Will they like being vice president? I don’t think so. Donald will go back to building buildings and Hillary will go back on the speaker’s trail, earning millions of dollars.

The result of all of this? A better America. A higher standing of America in the world. An America where we regain our credibility.

Would you vote for a flip? I would — in a moment.
