when I watched this earlier today and many said Whitehouse should run for POTUS. I think he would be a good choice. He reminds me of a cross between Atticus Finch and Walter Matthau for some reason. Then it suddenly occurred to me that if he did become POTUS there would be a big mess trying to differentiate Whitehouse and White House.

And he has two main issues that we could all get behind, climate change and Supreme Court corruption.
As for the mixup, like someone on DU would make the mistake - one time when I posted on of Whitehouse's videos, someone corrected me saying it was two words.
