This might seem like something of a left-field suggestion, but then so was Donald Trump. Would having the host of 'Family Feud' as President really be any stranger than the host of 'The Apprentice?' Harvey has an easy charm, a quick wit, and seemingly deeply sincere convictions about family life and faith. You rarely encounter people who dislike him, and when it comes to politics, being liked is half the battle.
We have no idea if Harvey has any diplomatic skill, or how firm his grasp on world events is. We do think, though, that he could diffuse a difficult meeting by cracking a joke. Making somebody laugh is one of the easiest ways to get people on your side. Meetings of the G8 or the United Nations would certainly seem less dull or stuffy if Harvey were sitting in on them and making sure everyone had a good time. How about trying to find peace in the Middle East by having two sets of representatives line up and play 'Family Feud?'
