His Royal Simpness.

If Prince Harry has moderate views, he'll win. He is young, attractive, articulate, a war veteran, well known, and family man. He has a pretty biracial intelligent wife. He would resemble John F. Kennedy.

He's not the worst candidate for office I've seen, but I don't think his celebrity/royal status would be a huge asset. Also, he's nothing like JFK. God help him if his district has a lot of Irish. The Royal Family isn't a favorite given the history.

Like JFK he's a war veteran, has a pretty wife, and two children. If his views were moderate, Americans would love him.

No. No they wouldn't. They don't even like him or his wife now. They've failed at everything they tried to do since the abandoned the Royal Family. And he's nothing like JFK, imo.

  • He has no experience (and being a royal doesn't constitute political experience)
  • Outside of his service to HIS country, he's done nothing (and "hero" is dubious, but as a veteran, I give him and his brother props for serving)
  • Nobody cares about charity, especially charity done using other people's money
  • Megan Markle is unlikeable and Harry is a wet noodle, imo. He's a lot like Trump in that he's a rich kid living off his family name and trying to buy his way into politics. The difference is that, while I'm not a fan of Trump, he commands attention. Harry does not. He is not charismatic and his wife has tarnished even that.

I'm an Independent, but a tad left of center on some things, right of center on more. What the US needs is a viable third party as ~50% of the country is Independent (25% Republican, 25% Democrat). And for that to work, that third party needs a charismatic, American leader. That ain't Harry. I'd never vote for him and I don't know anyone who would. Hell, that might be a good thing for him. At least he's not politician material so he's at least human, lol.

  1. Arnold Schwarzenegger had no experience before becoming governor.
  2. Unlike his brother, he saw combat as an officer meaning he was a leader. Britain is a NATO country.
  3. People in the charities care because celebrities draw support.
  4. Trump was never in the military. In fact, he avoided the draft.

Australians loved the couple when they visited. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hIDqPGcSbg&t=36s Prince Harry suspects that this popularity caused his father and brother to get jealous.

Sorry. You'll never sell me on Harry and Megan. And I'll wager I'm not alone in that opinion. Now his brother? I'd vote for him.

No, Prince Harry would get more votes. Unlike his brother, he is a war veteran. Meghan Markle is probably more intelligent than Kate Middleton and would attract nonwhites to vote for her husband.

He should run on a platform of apologizing to the UK for the unpleasantness in the 18th century and asking to be let back into the Empire.

His father and brother should apologize to him. Remember when the tabloids said that Meghan Markle made Kate Middleton cry? Actually, Kate Middleton made Meghan Markle cry. Yet, the Royal Family didn't attempt to correct this and who leaked this information? If King Charles and Prince William reconcile with Prince Harry all would be forgotten.

Just in time for USA's Semiquincentennial.

Can someone name for me a demographic group of USA who would vote in numbers for this fuck failure? This fellow made an unpardonable mistake of marrying that witch nigger to the point where his own family and country has effectively banished him. Why the HELL would anyone want to vote him in for anything?

Young people. Nonwhites. Veterans. His country hasn't banned him. He left his country to escape the tabloids which were attacking his wife.
