[The Greek Freak]

Newp. He's a republican as others have mentioned and I really don't know much about how he feels policy-wise on a bunch of issues but considering the political affiliation, I wouldn't trust him in office. Basically stick to the movies and looking fine and we're good.

Idk him personally but I'm willing to bet he's a new england republican not a burn gays at the stake fuck minorities and let's suck Putin's nuts Republican.

 

[Tom Nook]

IRS for Secretary of the Treasury.

Lets make the administration carny af.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

No thanks. He's a Republican, isn't he?

better fucking not be.

 

[7Th]

Out of all the celebrities that have joked about a candidacy, Oprah is probably the best.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

How about a president that hasn't taken a Stone Cold Stunner? Y'know someone with a background in politics.

 

[Sephzilla]

In terms of qualifications to be president Rock is on the same tier as Trump. The difference is that Rock (to our knowledge) isn't a giant sexist and racist who's a traitor to the country.

 

[cordy]

Rock's whatever party they book him to be. Republican, Democrat, Green, the People's, whatever you need him to be he can do it.

 

[Balphon]

The Rock seems like a decent guy, but no.

 

[Wamb0wneD]

Well, he's a professional wrestler and actor.

But, then again, our current president's last job was a reality TV game show host.

[Phu]

The Rock seems like a decent guy, but no.

I'll take that upgrade.

 

[ClosingADoor]

Run for local office first and then we'll talk.

 

[Magwik]

It's rather funny because Terry Crews would is a phenomenal human being and would probably make for a good president.

 

[2Smashed4U]

I would not mind Senator The Rock however. He would be less of a jabroni than the other republicans in congress right now.

 

[Snaku]

I'd rather he wait until he's past his acting prime. Don't want another Arnold.

 

[InfiniteBento]

This whole "#celebritiesforpresident" shit needs to stop

 

[John Rabbit]

This is exactly the kind of thing I worried about after Trump won. Every Tom, Dick, and Harriet with enough money/popularity running for President. By all means let's just continue to assail the Office of the President with buffoons and carnival-barkers.

The same thing happened after Jesse Ventura and Arnold became governors. I also think you're going to see a bunch of people run for office with the campaign slogan of "I'm not Trump"

 

[MetalGearZed]

I'll take that upgrade.

i mean...if he makes it out of the primaries and its Rock v Trump then yea id vote for him.

but would definitely prefer Harris, Kander, Booker, Warren, or Franken, or whatever the Dems are rolling with that year.

would definitely not like for our government to become anymore like WWE

 

[TheLaughingStock]

There are a number of factors at play here but I think we are only going to see a rise in outsiders. Ben Carson and Trump were only the beginning.

1) negative public perceptions of the establishment or what is seen to be your traditional politician
2) crowd funding being easier than ever
3) political advising services being the largest it's ever been and open to anyone that can afford these services to help run their campaign
4) general public perceptions of charisma and their consumption of media
5) general disinterest in fact checking

I think outsiders have an advantage in this day and age

I think the dominant factor at play here is the performance of traditional politicians who have accumulated experience. Donald Trump is POTUS predominantly because of the cumulative effect of poor decision-making over time.

People are asking themselves why they should choose someone like Tim Kaine (as a hypothetical) over The Rock when Kaine is doing a shit job. If people were doing a fantastic job, then outsiders wouldn't pour in and succeed. It's an indictment that irreparable damage to institutions has occurred. People who created the problems can't fix them. Maybe the Rock can get it done or maybe he can't, but he's legally allowed to run and if folks want to give him a chance then so be it.

 

[JustenP88]

Shit's not funny to joke about anymore. Of course, I'm on a forum that had to have an OT for pretty much every Trump rally during the election season so maybe I'm the weird one.

 

[Lothar]

Good point, he's a singer too. He's perfect for the job.

 

[Beefy]

better fucking not be.

He is

 

[Nightbird]

I'd take him or Zuckerberg over Trump any day, every day.

Edit: we almost reached the lowest of lows, so people like them would be a small, but at least positive increase in leader quality

 

[VeryGooster]

this is my favorite response so far

 

[pelicansurf]

Fuck it, why not go out in a blaze of glory.

 

[Nerd_Incognito]

Maybe we should leave governing to the people who actually know how to govern...

The Rock's a smart dude and seems genuinely caring. That already puts him miles above the majority of fuckwits in charge of running our government.

 

[Beefy]

Kardashian, Rogen, Kanye AND Then Justin Beiber next.

 

[Rentahamster]

better fucking not be.

Being on stage with Hastert has not aged well.

 

[MCN]

It should be a requirement for all future presidents to have wrestled in the WWE.

 

[jmdajr]

Rock is definitely a boot straps kind of guy. I don't think he's Republican beyond that.

Probably like Arnold really.

 

[nOoblet16]

Say hello to BaRock

 

[Moofers]

No thanks, dude. I like him in entertainment, but the answers in that interview were so soft and non-committal, I'll pass.

If you want to get me excited about voting for you, bring me your policies and don't be afraid to call out the current administration for being the complete shit-show that it is. Anyone who tiptoes around questions like "How's Trump doing?" is not going to impress anyone.

 

[Lambtron]

I'd take him over fucking Zuckerberg.

 

[sphagnum]

Ugh can't he at least run for Congress first

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

The fact that he refuses to say where he stands on even a single issue is pretty telling

 

[Kensation]

Seeing how John Cena got him flustered on the mic, I don't see him handling the pressure.

 

[Servbot24]

Fuck you GQ, and anyone who makes a joke or reality show out of a predicament affecting lives world-wide.

 

[Sanjuro]

Wouldn't Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase be more qualified?

 

[iPorygon]

If he gets elected can he change the name of the house of Representatives to Paul Ryan's house of horrors?

It could be nice to have someone who has some experience governing/law-making be president, but since that requirement is out the window, why not?

 

[Draerf]

Moving closer and closer to Idiocracy becoming reality with each passing day.

 

[Rhaknar]

at least he takes a better Stunner than the current POTUS

 

[Capitan]

I mean he's got charisma, and he'd surely do better than the current president, but I think there are a lot better options out there. people running from celebrity status alone shouldn't become commonplace.

 

[User Name Here]

Lol. Let's make the transformation complete!


You Can't Block The Rock!
#DwayneJohnson2020

 

[Zaventem]

People laughed at this suggestion a while ago, but I really think the man is going to run. I'm not particularly thrilled about that.

Also, I think Mark Cuban will try to take a shot as well.

Dont forget kanye....

 

[Tom Nook]

Future Cabinet?

 

[Extra Sauce]

No it was the voters.

People who don't bother voting don't get to blame voters.

 

[Basketball]

I would vote for him in a heartbeat

 

[Mr. Giggles]

please god no.

if you're going to elect a celebrity, at least elect bill nye

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

He is a republican no? No thanks.
