Watkins for President 2020

Hi, I’m author and speaker James Watkins, and I’m throwing my pen into presidential race.

I’m too conservative to be a Democrat, too liberal to be a Republican and too OCD to be a Libertarian, so I am running with the Tupperware Party: “Putting a lid on government.” You can read my entire colorful, durable, and dishwasher-safe platform right here!

This is a very non-partisan campaign (I intend to offend all voters!), so I would appreciate your support by posting my videos and campaign cartoons on your social networks. (The voter sharing the most posts will be appointed ambassador to the country of his or her choice.) Thanks.

I’m James Watkins and I approve this post.

Jim's combination of a good sense of humor and understanding of the often puzzling and depressing state of affairs we find ourselves in is evident in the "platform" that follows. Enjoy the cartoons, but stick around to read the related posts to discover Jim's wit and wisdom. Just after posting this article on SeniorLIfestyle, we ran across an article on the founding of Tupperware--"How a Single Mom Created a Plastic Food-Storage Empire" by Jen Doll, originally written for MentalFloss in June 2017.

See a video of Jim's announcement and his "10 ways to eliminate the national debt."

Last Candidate Standing!
Perhaps national elections should be staged as reality TV shows: The Amazing Political Race, Keeping Up with the Kandidates, Conservative Eye for the Liberal Guy, Dancing with the Issues or Survivor: Electoral College. And the best part? It would run only from September through November “sweeps” each election year! [Continue reading]

Speaking with truth . . . and grace
I’ve been accused of being a “hateful,” “intolerant,” “homophobic,” “right-wing, conservative Christian nut case,” and a few other things not suitable for this website. I’ll plead guilty on the “Christian nut case” charge, but I don’t believe attempting to present objective information condemns one to being shackled to those adjectives. [Continue reading]
