The Robertson family of the hit television series Duck Dynasty wants "someone different" to move into the White House this 2016, and there is but one political candidate who they think would lead America to greatness.

In an interview with Fox News, Willie and Korie Robertson revealed that they want Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal to run as president. "Bobby is a good friend of ours. He and his wife are good friends of Korie and mine. He has been on our television show. Anybody that comes down and has been on an episode of 'Duck Dynasty,' obviously is the frontrunner in my book," Willie jokingly said.

But he became serious as he added: "Besides all that, he's a good man. He's a Godly man. He's honest, and so I'd like to see if he makes a run at it, and, you know, if so, we'll definitely be trying to help him out."

His wife Korie said that despite all the political issues being faced by the United States right now, they still believe that it is the greatest nation to live in.

"You travel around the world and you see how truly blessed we are as a country, as a nation, in every single way," she gushed.

Korie said that the country might have its fair share of problems and difficulties, but it is still the most blessed nation.

Willie echoed his wife's sentiments and shared the things he loves about his country. "I love this country, and I love our armed military men and women. I was honoured be able to go over on a USO tour and actually be in Afghanistan over there on the ground with them, and, you know, it just makes me proud," he said.

At the same time, Willie said that there is no better country to raise a family. He cited his own family as an example - they had no money when they started out, but now after 30 to 40 years, they were able to turn things around because of their hard work and determination.
