Let's Cast A Modern Day Version Of "It's A Wonderful Life" .....

and come up with who (from the Repug & Dem parties) would play which characters - such as George Bailey, Uncle Billy, Clarence The Angel, Mr. Potter, and other cast members.

Clarence would have the present day George Baily experience what the United States (Bedford Falls in the movie version) would have been like if he had never existed. In this alternate reality, the United States has become (what)? What would be the picture of the United States that Clarence would want George Bailey to see - past and present.

Who would come to the rescue and save George & Bedford Falls (the United States).

And when a bell on the Christmas tree rings, George's daughter Zuzu (played by who) remembers that it signifies that an angel has earned his wings (these being the wings of Clarence the Angel). George happily confirms this, now realizing that, while he did not get to follow his dreams, he truly has a wonderful life.

If we are creative enough - we could come up with a new Christmas classic here at DU. Let's try. Any takers?
