Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson announced what he called a serious bid for President on SNL, picking Tom Hanks as his running mate. Normally I’d laugh something like this off…but after the Trump Debacle I’m wondering I’d rather have him as president. If there are any scandals uncovered, they will have two things going for them: The ability to be humble and apologize, and the fact that anything they have done will pale in comparison to Trump’s antics.
Anything is possible. I think one thing that is being left out in your analysis is the fact that Trump has been involved in professional wrestling in the past (he is actually in the wrestling hall of fame) and is close to Vince Mcmahon whose wife is Linda Mcmahon who was nominated by Trump and is the current head of the Small Business Administration. I think this could give Trump a significant advantage because he would probably have far more access to information about Johnson than Johnson would have about him.
Trump is averaging a scandal every other day, and it’s not taking much of an effort to uncover them, because he tweets a third of them to the public himself. What could he possibly uncover about Johnson and/or Hanks that would make them more scandalous than himself?
If they’re actually running against Trump, anything’s possible. If they’re running against Pence (more likely, imo), they don’t. If given the choice between a normal politician and a couple celebrities, I suspect by 2020, people would go with the normal politician, even if it means re-electing Mike Pence.
I’m not sure what there is to say beyond what’s already been said in the Tom Hanks for President, would you support him? thread. In particular, Shodan’s comment that “If Trump leaves one legacy, perhaps it could be that the Presidency is not an entry level position.”
I want these jokers to run about as bad as I want the plumber to pilot the plane on my next flight. I’m tired of fucking amateurs thinking they can do the job. Once is enough with the bozo we have now proving the point. Fuck actors and entertainers and their elevated opinions of their talents. :smack:
Don’t mean to rant, but damn, being President takes more than being able to act “presidential”. Maybe they could learn on the job, but let’s start with Representative first, learn some chops, then go for high office.
