Which politician would you have a drink with?

[Second Summer]

The Express says young people would have a drink with Barack Obama and Boris Johnson!

I'm thinking a couple of the politicians in my list might need a drink at this point!

(You can have maximum two drinks )

Hmmm, maybe Donald Trump would also be a good choice...
(But he might not find the drink palatable)

He doesn't drink alcohol.

Where is the "none of the above" option?

 

[Andy_T]

He doesn't drink alcohol.

Even harder to explain his behaviour, then...

It's because his brother died of alcoholism that he is a teetotaler.

 

[Mischief]

Obama, Clinton, Sanders, Trudeau, Merkel

 

[Amy SF]

Obama and Bernie.

I voted only for Obama before I noticed I could vote for more than one person. I can't go back and change it.

 

[Moll Flanders]

Vladimir Putin seems like the most interesting character on that list IMO.

 

[Mischief]

Wouldn't want to have a drink with him though. Wouldn't want to even be in the same room with him.

 

[Joe]

He doesn't drink alcohol.

He just drinks blood.

 

[Joe]

Voted for Sanders and Merkel.

 

[Freesia]

I just dont trust politicians. So, would probably sit drinking whisky alone.

 

[PTree15]

I picked Bernie Sanders and Theresa May (I've been very interested in UK politics of late).

 

[Freesia]

^ Bernie Sanders is a good choice.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

I can't narrow it down, so I'll go small cocktail party with this....

Dead: Winston Churchill, FDR, JFK, Che Guevara, and Gandhi. Now that would be some interesting convo! LMAO

Living: Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and John Lewis.


I was just reminded of a rumored exchange between a journalist & Gandhi.... Gandhi was asked, "What do you think of western civilization?" He responded, "I think it would be a good idea."

And don't even get me started on Churchill's wit!

Oh, I didn't see the poll at the top, didn't know our options were limited. Hell with it, I'm sticking with my answers. LOL

I picked Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton even though I may not agree 100% on their views. This will sound silly but I actually picked them for personal reasons more than anything else. They seem like easy to approach people who have a genuine interest in others and would really listen to ideas. I truly would want to talk to Obama but find him somewhat intimidating so I wouldn't be as comfortable asking him questions and the date would be hard for me. Though I would REALLY like to talk to his wife Michelle. I think she is awesome and would be very approachable! Mind you this is just from my limited observations and perceptions of these people. I could be totally off. I would only want to talk to Putin to learn about Russian culture and express my absolute love for Russian ballet dancers.

Putin doesn't seem like a fun-loving kind of guy, exactly, and his political ideals are obviously somewhat different from my own. It would probably be an awkward conversation.

I do think Boris Johnson seems like he could have a sense of humour. Or at least could occasionally provide some unintentional comedy.

My choices in the end were Barry and Bernie. Boring, I know, but we seem mostly on the same wavelength on a number of issues (not all!) and also I'm curious what Barry really thinks about all the crap he's had to put up with as president.

I think the most boring people to spend any time with would be François Hollande and Angela Merkel. I really wouldn't like to meet any of the British or the American leaders either, I'm sick of the sight of them at the moment! Meeting Putin would at least be an interesting story to tell people.

I, too, thought about Putin, but I don't think I could be in the same room with him, lol. I might get too angry.
