    On one hand, celebrity elected officials, yuck.

    On the other, I still think Texas is a solid red state. He's a conservative but I don't think a Q-anon MAGA. So I think I could live with with this.

    I honestly don’t know why anyone who could just put the rest of their life on autopilot would want this, but he does come across as a genuine guy. I know he gets labeled a conservative but describes himself as centrist, which I would prefer.

    I have no problems with conservative people. I have problems with people themselves.

    I don’t know much about him personally, but have watched parts of recent-ish interviews with him, and he did come across as sincere and not paying lip service.

    I’d vote for him over anyone who has recently run.

    McConaughey and Stephen Colbert are good buddies, so I don't think Matthew can be that conservative.  I've seen him interviewed a number of times.  He seems like very smart, thoughtful- fairly well balanced and generally a good soul.

    I've always liked him, but I think he's a bit narcissistic so politics seem like the right move.

    i would say no. what next, the fucking rock??

    people with no legislative or executive experience need to stay out of governorships and the presidency. too many people can get hurt while they are learning on the job.

    that said, anybody would be better than abbott.

    I disagree.  Legislative and executive experience are what got us here.  So far we’ve only had two tv sTars.  Trump and Reagan.  Oh yeah and I forgot about Ahnold, he didn’t do terrible in California.  Sure they are bad, but they can’t be blamed for everything.  I would actually like to see more people without government entrenchment trying to actually help people.  As for the rock, who knows...Jesse Ventura did a pretty decent job in Minnesota.

    President of the United States was pretty much Barack Obama’s first real job, and he was better at it than most who’ve held the position (all during my lifetime). Plus, he had to fight an uphill battle for nearly his entire presidency. 

    Maybe community organizers should take over the US government?

    you can disagree if you want. but we just had fucking trump, so that is the bar these celebrities have to try to clear.

    the only reason trump was elected was because he was famous beforehand.

    also, if ventura was so great, why did he not seek a 2nd term?

    No thanks, give me someone who has a fundamental understanding of how government works and the three branches of government, their roles, responsibilities and how they function together, at times in conflict with one another. Fuck amateur hour.

    Because outside of the last 4 years status quo has worked wonders? Every politician starts as an amateur. Actor or bar tender, it doesn’t matter. Seems like for the majority the only factor that truly matters is which side the amateur picks.

    Except you don’t go from actor, bartender or Joe the Plumber to POTUS. There should be some pretty important life achievements in between. Are you really trying to say that four years of POOTWH was better than everything that came before or the 51 or 52 days or whatever since?
