I was cancelling my hosting and domain for cast and curious, and realized I had also reserved VerucaSalt2020.com. I forgot about that. Hmm.

Fine.

What's VerucaSalt2020 about?

I can't remember. Obviously it was going to be a presidential campaign idea. But I can't remember anything I had developed for it. This is the problem with not writing down your ideas.

Or maybe I posted about it here. I'll do a search.

Search is fucked. So I don't know.

Veruca Salt/Scorpion King 2020

Right? Like- I think Veruca Salt makes a nice counterpoint to Trump, but because of her... confrontational... personality, we need a "good guy" for the VP. Scorpion King is overkill.

Take Henry Sugar - he's another Roald Dahl character.

Salt/Sugar 2020 almost writes itself.

I can't double down on the Dahl. I need someone real. Someone that the people can relate to. Someone that's not afraid to admit that she doesn't always wash her hands after she uses the bathroom. But someone who's not just relateable, but aggressively likeable.

Jennifer Lawrence

Just being pedantic, but Gamgee is actually Samwise, but that should not distract from Sal's point, because he's 100% correct.

Samwise Gamgee or Samwell Tarly would both be superlative running mates for Veruca. Personally, as fond as I am of Samwise, I think Salt/Tarly is the way to go here. Both have the wisdom of a proper Sidekick-Sam, but Tarly is way brainier.

We need someone relatable- not someone who we have to explain who they are to people.

Salt/Lawrence 2020.

Maybe. I'm working on this.

Salt/Hanks?

Salt/Degeneres?

Veruca Salt and Zombie Reagan 2020?

Jeb Bush?

Salt/Bush

Kinda has a nice ring.

I also think Jenna Bush is a good candidate.

Oh shit it's Samwise Gamgee, not Samwell

Excuse me I'll just be out back burning my nerd card
