Trump allegedly let the Russians affect the 2016 presidential race. Democrats should let the Ukrainians affect the 2020 race by copying their leader’s route to office. Volodymyr Zelensky was elected President of Ukraine after playing that role in a TV series that aired from 2015 to 2019. In 2020, the Democrats should nominate a presidential candidate who is a successful fictional Secretary of State and President: Tea Leoni, star of the CBS drama Madame Secretary. To complete the better, more likeable “Hillary” ticket, the veep nominee position would be held by Juliana Margulies, the attorney/politician and long-suffering spouse in The Good Wife.
