    He just poste on instagram that in some poll "46% of americans would approve of The Rock running for President". he said he is humbled, and "if it ever happens, it would be an honour to serve". 

    please god no. please America, learn from your mistakes. celebrities with zero political service/experience should not win the presidency. 
    Those debates would be great though lol. 
    "SHUTCHYA DAMN MOUTH JABRONI". doesn't get any more presidential than that. LOL

    Amazingly, he wouldn't even be the first president to be on the receiving end of a Stone Cold Stunner.

    Imagine The Rock (not Dwayne Johnson, but late 90's THE ROCK) in a presidential debate.

    "Elizabeth Warren....The Rock sees the way you look at him. Undressing The Rock with your eyes. Looking to serve The Rock a piece of that poontang pie." 

    "Kamala Harris....you sit up here talking about busing. Well The Rock says this....take your bus, shine it up real nice, turn that sumbitch sideways and STICK IT STRAIGHT UP YOUR CANDYASS!" 

    "Joe, Donald, why don't you two jabronis go have a geriatric pillow fight and leave the running of the country to The Great One?"

    trump played golf hundreds of times during his presidency. the rock would work out twice a day every day and post pictures on his social medial of him working out.

    But what if his opponent in a general election was Trump?

    trump will not run again. he is out of ideas, and in 2023 relitigating the 2020 election and aftermath is a bad look. he will still be chanting "lock her up" from 2015.

    but hypothetically speaking, i would stay home. i cannot support the reality show bullshit that a another trump or a rock presidency would bring.

    Fair enough. I know a lot of people get upset over the notion of not voting because you don't like either candidate, but I'm not one of them. I didn't vote for Biden or Trump.

    That's a tough one. I totally agree with you that I don't like the idea of contributing to a culture of electing celebrities. Is the Rock a good guy? Seems that way. But there's nothing in his past that tells me he's prepared for the job. It was my main argument about Trump (and I was right, though he ended up being awful in a myriad of other ways). I don't want the Rock to be president. Or to put it into our wheelhouse, I don't want Eddie, Jeff, Matt, Stone, Mike, or Boom to be president. I tend to agree with them more often than not (the more outspoken Ed and Jeff, anyway) but they're simply not qualified.

    On the other hand, I'd actually have to consider voting for the Rock vs. Trump because I think Trump and MAGA have their eyes on one-party dictatorship. I believe the Rock is a conservative/moderate but I don't believe he'd have his eyes on autocracy. I think I'd have to vote for him over the nepotism, whining, victimhood, and possible dynasty and hope later that the presidency doesn't become a celebrity contest. In fact, I'd have to vote for him over any MAGAs (Hawley, Haley, Crenshaw, etc.). Given where the GQP is, I'd probably end up voting for him. Give me Kinzinger or Kasich on the GOP ticket and I would probably vote 3rd.

    after further consideration i would have to vote for the rock over trump. he seems to at least be a decent person. in no way prepared for the presidency, but i think decency in the oval office and willingness to learn and listen to advisors is nearly as important as experience.

    now, if it were between the rock and trump for prom king, i would go with the rock again.
