Will Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson ever run for office?
 
I mean, he is a rich guy who is mostly consensual among people and also seems to never get involved in scandals that hurt his personal image. He's also a great speaker and very charismatic. Not to mention a much more sympathetic guy than either Hilary or Trump.

"But he's an actor!" well so was Ronald Reagan. And, at least, The Rock is a good actor.

Politically speaking, The Rock claims to be a Republican, but he has voted for Obama, meaning he's most likely not a radical when it comes to either side. he seems like a sensible person.

So... does America need The Rock to lay the smacketh down on her candy ass?

Right. But he was just Governor.

Since when do actors in the entertainment industry run for president?

...

Oh.

Oh.

Would you, per chance, vote for The Rock?

CyberCubed 08-24-2016 03:01 PM

I don't know anything about politics and since I don't watch wrestling all I know of him is the few movies I've seen him in, and whatever I hear online.

So I guess....maybe? I am as uneducated on the subject as most fellow Americans.

The Deadman 08-24-2016 03:02 PM

No, and he shouldnt run for President.

He doesn't talk much about his views, from what I gather, but he seems to identify himself as a Republican, despite having voted for Obama. So who knows.

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 08-24-2016 03:10 PM

You line Johnson up against ANY of the candyasses running this year, and I'm all for it.

Krutch 08-24-2016 03:19 PM

I'm Canadian, so, I can't vote.

But President Rock would entertain the sh*t out of us.

I wanted him to run against Obama in 2012. Imagine a debate between Obama and The Rock. I could not handle the awesomeness of it.

Do they have anything in common besides both being black?

CyberCubed 08-24-2016 03:40 PM

I am a huge fan of Obama. I voted for him twice. I would vote for him a third time if I could.

Obama is the greatest president we've had since FDR.

Krutch 08-24-2016 03:44 PM

If The Rock ever goes for presidency, he should commit to being in character 100 percent of the time. Begin every public speech with "FINALLY!... The Rock... HAS COME BACK!...." and end with "IF YA SMELLLLLLL" and have his music hits.

Just...total commitment.

He should also wear cut off T-Shirts with catchphrases like "Nukes To Asses"

One step closer....

He should run as a Libertarian and take Gary as his VP. Johnson and Johnson 2020.

BubblyShell22 08-24-2016 05:25 PM

I hate politics and refuse to vote because of said hatred. But if he did win, that would be hilarious on so many levels.

And, Cubed, he's half black and half Samoan.

CyberCubed 08-24-2016 05:36 PM

People don't like Obama now? I thought he was a fairly good president. I mean we sat through 8 years of Bush, and now we're dealing with Trump or Hilary.

How can anyone complain about Obama? He was a saint in comparison.

Racists never liked Obama. Sometimes they're confused with people.

ToTheNines 08-24-2016 05:50 PM

I was criticizing you more than I was Obama. The juxtaposition of your first post talking about how you literally know nothing about politics with your second post featuring you getting on your knees for the guy gets me every time.

But he's a good guy. He's a Democrat, so I have some fundamental differences with him. I'm really disappointed that we never got out of the Middle East, but that's not all on him.

I also disapprove of his occasional habit of overstepping his boundaries. I'm not even saying I disagreed with the calls, but that sets an ugly precedent for the next guy... and look who's moving in the White House next year...

But like I said, I think he's a cool guy. Really smart, kinda geeky, very funny. I took his daughters whitewater rafting once. True story.

What do you mean by "people"?
No matter who the President is, there are going to be sizable portions of the population who dislike the President because of differing opinions or values.

I get that it's popular to like President Obama, but don't be shocked that there are "people" who don't.

As for me - I think his heart is in the right place, and he seems like a nice enough guy, but as ToTheNines said - the precedents he had set with his flagrant disregard for basic Presidential boundaries has bothered quite a few people. Myself included.

Well pictures weren't allowed, but the Secret Service guy in my boat gave me this.

It was a really cool day. I could go on and on about it. Here's the article. I wasn't featured, as the girls were in different boats on either side of mine.

That article is dated 2012 which was 4 years ago. You did this when you were only 20?

Shark_Blade 08-24-2016 07:03 PM

He's a better candidate than Trump and Hillary atm.

Yeah, you've really kind of painted yourself into a corner with this one, Cylon.
