This isn't even from the Rock. Those saying "This is nothing" are correct because I could do the same thing myself for Dave Chapelle and it would be just as pointless as this.

Saving this for when I see the Rock // Chapelle 2020 adverts.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I came here to post something similar. His Baywatch meltdowns on social media were far from poised.

Sounds modern presidential to me.

 

[UberTag]

We do this and we have learned nothing as a country, it's funny now but if you look at trumps roots I don't trust anything we do.

Why would you ever expect your country to learn? Has it given you any reason whatsoever to think this is even a possibility?
Expecting America to learn is as delusional as Republicans thinking global warming is an invented hoax.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Lock if nothing. Roseanne filed to run in 2012. Jesse Ventura, PeeWee, Chewbacca Mom, etc

I hope dirt never surfaces that Chewbacca Mom is a horrible person. I don't know if I could handle that.

 

[5taquitos]

Fuck no, keep this meathead away from anything resembling public office.

 

[MisterHero]

The only Celebrity President I want is Arnold.

 

[The Albatross]

In 2012 Hulk Hogan was considering this.

Think this was like 15 years ago. I remember him on Jay Leno announcing his retirement and that he'd run for POTUS.

 

[nekkid]

Interested to see what he's actually got to bring.

Leno talking him out of it:

 

[Agent_ShortBus]

At this point it's better than Trump. Would be awesome if he appointed other old wrestlers to other white house positions. I'd love for Rikishi to lay down some stinkface on some fools.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Wow that last guy didn't know what he was doing. Lets get this other guy who doesn't know what he's doing.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

America wants to become a joke country I guess.

No Jabronis Left Behind Act

 

[akileese]

Saving this for when I see the Rock // Chapelle 2020 adverts.

But it is literally nothing. It was filed by an independent party with zero ties to Johnson himself. It couldn't be more nothing if they tried. This is like if tomorrow I decided to file an organization to draft Tom Hanks as president, or even funnier, Jack Black. It doesn't mean they're running. It just means someone is trying to poke and prod them into running.

Can we at least get the textbook definition of what drafting is in the OP so people don't think this is Johnson himself filing to run? There appears to be a good deal of that in this thread.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

This is what one idiot in the oval office does to us.

No Jabronis Left Behind Act

lmao

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

I hate celebrity worship culture in the US.

America wants to become a joke country I guess.

Become? That's one of the few things we've actually accomplished with flying colors in recent times.

 

[JettDash]

I would vote for him over Trump.

 

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

Unless Rock is going to start appealing to racists, he has a tough road ahead of him.

A lot of rural racists are marks, sooooo......

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Unless Rock is going to start appealing to racists, he has a tough road ahead of him.

That's what his running mate Michael Hayes is for.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I disagree. Trump is a big problem but only when this shitshow continues with bad actors or rappers becoming president, its confirmed that the US are no longer a country to be taken seriously.
I am confident that what happens in 4 yours in whats going to determine the future of the states. Trumps mess can be repaired IMO.

 

[Damaniel]

No.

I don't know what bad acting or rapping has to do with it but Trump has been a bad actor, go look up his IMDB if being a bad actor is somehow the determinant for you.

I mean the Rock would be absolutely horrible for president but still not worse than Trump. As far as I know the Rock isn't a racist fuck and doesn't have conflicting financial self interests like Trump has. He's also a far more charismatic person than Trump

We already have a WWE Hall of Famer as POTUS. Might as well get a better one to replace him. Should run with Stone Cold as his VP to really get all the marks.

 

[navanman]

Perfection

 

[Dram]

Well he would have Montana's vote.

 

[ebullientprism]

America wants to become a joke country I guess.

Become? You/they are at the bottom of the barrel. The fucking Rock would be a giant step up on the current situation. A rabid Chihuahua would be an improvement.

Too late.

 

[commedieu]

And nothing of value was learned.

 

[Azerth]

The only reason i would be ok (not that i want/support it) is the guy gives everything his all

 

[MIMIC]

So this is on his behalf?

Still....UGH

[Unbounded]

Eh, shoot. Why the hell not at this point.

The Rock as president with Arnold as his VP.

I can enjoy that.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Rock's cool and all, but yeah, no thank you.

It's so sad that we are thinking of running literally anybody that is well-spoken.

 

[ClosingADoor]

Well, just have him run as a Republican. Can't be worse then what that party has anyway.

But replacing your first reality tv President with your first wrestling / movie star President. USA will be the laughing stock of the world for a few more years.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

I am in no mood to have any more TV personalities running the government.

 

[RoboPlato]

Here's a thought; run qualified people with experience in policy, governance, and public service instead.

 

[finley83]

Eh, shoot. Why the hell not at this point.

The Rock as president with Arnold as his VP.

I can enjoy that.

Honestly Arnold is legitimately one of the better Republicans at this point (pro gay marriage, campaigns about climate change and repeatly supported legal marijuana) and he actually has legitimate policial experience, however questionable his record in California.

I think this debacle has shown the need for actual policial experience as a prerequisite to the White House. Climate change won't solve itself and there isnt time to fuck around with gameshow presidents.

 

[Ushojax]

If, god help us, the next POTUS has to be someone rich and I hope it's George Clooney.

Ideally the world will return to sanity and someone with an actual record of public service will reach the White House.

Arnold is a garbage politician. Fuck him.

 

[JettDash]

Arnold cannot be president or VP.

He is not a natural born citizen.

 

[Ogodei]

The Rock is at least supposed to be pleasant to work with and has a strong work ethic, but if that's enough to qualify presidency, most of my coworkers at my job would be equally qualified.

 

[gutter_trash]

the Rock stands for nothing politically,
love him as a Wrestler/ Performer/ Actor

but his political comments have been nothing but vague slogans, generic lines and doesn't really stand on any issue to be able to pin point what he believes in.

He is a Schwarzenegger Republican at best without taking any stance on any issue

 

[Aeriscloud]

John Cena could actually do it for real.

Two terms, I bet.

Eh, I doubt we'll see him.

 

[shoelacer]

The same Rock that had a meltdown when his corny movie bombed?

Good luck

Lol @ calling that a meltdown compared to the daily missives from the current executive in chief

 

[PopeReal]

What about that meme dog from a few years back? Or how about Stallone's brother?

Idris Elba?

 

[gutter_trash]

on the defense of John Cena, he has been more vocal publicly about issues that he cares about than the Rock

 

[Mechanized]

Maybe the US should have figurehead candidates with vice presidents being real politicians. The people have proven almost half of them are too ignorant to vote for actual politicians.

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

no, I don't want any actors, or billionaires, or celebrities.
