Randy Quaid Vs. Bernie Sanders For Vermont Senator Seat Is Fodder For Reality Show
Deadline.com ^ | 12-2-2017

Posted on 12/02/2017 4:00:40 PM PST by Snickering Hound

The veteran actor tweeted a threat/warning Thursday claiming that reps from a superPAC have approached him about running against Bernie Sanders for his U.S. Senate seat next year. And a reality show pitch about that potentially wacky race is making its way around town. Public Spectacle Media is planning an unscripted series that would follow Quaid’s long-shot bid to become the junior senator from the Green Mountain State.

Amid the Donald Trump era of reality TV’s convergence with politics, the proposed docu-sitcom is in development at Public Spectacle Media. The show would follow Quaid — and likely his wife, Evi, who grew up in Vermont — as he “takes on” one of the most high-profile politicians in the country. Bradford Broyles and Lenny Britton of Public Spectacle and Amanda Raymond are the producers.

I love some of the roles Randy played....But I think dear ole Randy has jumped the shark, of late.

You read my mind when I read the headline!

I’d pay big money to see Randy roll up in that clapped out motor home in front of Sanders dacha, and commence to empty his holding tank down the storm drain!

If you combine their two IQ’s, it would be less than that of the average earthworm!

And you don’t think Bernie has??? And with all his quirks, Randy would be a better Senator than either Bernie or the old Tit Grabber, Al Frankenstein.

They are both overqualified.

Randy’s brother Dennis appears to be conservative. Saw him perform with his band in Branson and he opened with a riff about how the people there were his kind of people.

Spent the day in the heart of Vermont [Sat] talking to folks at Singletons ... 100% of peeps have no use for Bernie. Don’t think he is gaining any traction.

Most often word used to describe him was *socialist* ...*fascist*.

On a semi-frequent basis I travel up I-91 through Vermont heading to the Canadian border.It seems to me that at least two thirds of the cars I see with Vermont plates have Bernie bumper stickers.

My hunch is that Bernie's gig is as secure as was the gig that the Senior Senator from Chappaquiddick's was in the Gay State.

Apparently, that is the number one qualification to be a senator from Vermont.

My post was about his brother Dennis. 63 years old and rocked nonstop for two hours when I saw him perform with his band.
