Vote for President- Tony Soprano vs. Walter White (1 Viewer)

[timschochet]

Since so many of you seem not to like the actual choice you're probably going to have to make, I offer you this one instead. Who would make a better President of the United States, Tony Soprano or Walter White?

Both men have demonstrated a capacity for executive decision making. Both have shown cunning, and an ability to handle adversarial situations. Tony is Number One, but Walter is the one who knocks. Tony makes better hiring decisions, but Walter probably handles his temper issues a little better. And Walter doesn't use a therapist.

Keep in mind that whichever of these guys you elect, you have to take all of his advisors into the White House as well: if it's Tony, you get Chris Moltisanti as chief of staff, Paulie Walnuts as Secretary of State, and Silvio, Junior, and Richie as senior advisors. If it's Walter, you get Jesse Pinkman as chief of staff, Mike Ehrmentraut as secretary of state, Saul Goodman as press secretary, and Todd, Lydia, Badger and Skinny Pete as senior advisors.

Make your choice!

Gun to head is a very real scenario here.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Walter White is far better qualified and better educated, yet I just can't seem to pull the trigger for him because of his past behavior. At least with the gumbah we have a psychopath we can believe in.

With the advisors caveat it's an easy decision - Soprano it is.

 

[Super King]

Paulie Walnuts as SoS. Lol...

 

[The General]

Walter is more capable and has higher ceiling.

 

[timschochet]

Tony Soprano has a decisive lead so far.

 

[timschochet]

Walter is more capable and has higher ceiling.

Not sure about the "higher ceiling" part...

 

[timschochet]

Paulie Walnuts as SoS. Lol...

Here's where I think Walter has a decisive advantage. Mike Ehrmentraut is sure to handle Vlad Putin much better. Paulie would lose his cool.

I think he means the heights reached by the chunks of ceiling drywall after Walt blows up the French Embassy.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Paulie Walnuts as SoS. Lol...

Heh heh

See I'm not sure about this. Todd is going to be more polite with Congress, easier to work with than anyone on the Soprano staff. Sure he's a psychopath, but he says "yes, sir" and "yes, ma'am" and is cordial at all times. Lydia is ruthless but full of ideas. Saul will be a GREAT press secretary. Jesse will be troubled as chief of staff, but will perform competently. Badger and Skinny Pete- well, they couldn't be worse than certain members of Bush's cabinet...

Walt is more talented, quicker learner, shows exceptional survival and political skills. Could be the greatest, most dynamic leader since Kennedy.

Or could get us all killed in fiery atomic death.

 

[AnonymousBob]

Saul would be the best press secretary of all time.

 

[timschochet]

Saul would be the best press secretary of all time.

He could also be the attorney general.

Let's just make him both.

3 or 4 of the guys you mentioned for WW are drug addicts. Easy vote for Tony.

Yeah but picture sending Richie Apraio to negotiate with the Senate- it evens out.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

Tony and it isn't even close.

Lydia died too. Did you even watch the show?

I did, and I didn't actually see either one die, so as far as I'm concerned they're eligible.

 

[PIK95]

Who is Walter White? The guy from Scorpion? I was watching Game of Thrones and the guy that plays the part of Walter in the show was also a Blood Rider in GOT. Crazy

 

[Homer J Simpson]

Tony and it isn't even close.

Walter and it isn't even close.

I WILL BURN #### DOWN!!!!!

Mike died. He is ineligible to be SoS.

Maybe this is a flashback episode

 

[Michael Brown]

If dying makes one ineligible to hold office, I'm not so sure either of these two would be able to be president...at least one of them for SURE

 

[BowieMercs]

White all the way. He can do what is necessary.

 

[elbowrm]

WW is driven solely by ego gratification, and relies too heavily on deus ex machine as a safety net - Tony has a proven track record of long-term strategic thinking, problem-solving skills, and self-sacrifice for the greater good. TS by a mile.

 

[Harry Manback]

Tony has more experience as head of an organization. WW did not play well with coworkers.

This.

POTUS Tony

[timschochet]

Walter closing in making this much closer.

 

[Lester Burnham]

Gotta go with Walter White.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

Tony and it isn't even close.

Walter and it isn't even close.

You should have the "o" at the end of your last name, confiscated.
