Alec Baldwin Says He 'Would Win, Hands Down' If He Ran for President
TV Line ^ | June 12, 2018 | Rebecca Iannucci

Posted on 06/12/2018 7:16:03 AM PDT by EdnaMode

The 2020 presidential race might just be a face-off between Donald Trump and the man who plays him on TV.

Alec Baldwin — who has portrayed POTUS on Saturday Night Live since 2016 — said in an interview with Howard Stern on Monday that if he ran for president, he could unseat Trump.

In the interview embedded above, Baldwin and Stern’s conversation turns to the 2020 election, and Baldwin admits that he “can only think of a couple people who I think could beat Trump.”

“I’ve got a name for you: Alec Baldwin,” Stern replies, prompting Baldwin to say, “If I ran, I would win… Hands down, I would win. It would be the funniest, most exciting, most crazy campaign.”

Though Baldwin’s idea sounds like a joke at first — “I’ve gotta do Match Game!” he suddenly remembers, referencing his current gig as the host of ABC’s summer game show — he later becomes more thoughtful about the idea of running for president, shooting down Stern’s insinuation that he is “the hope of the Democratic Party.”

“I’m only saying [I would run] because people don’t really have a sense of who’s going to come up [on the Democrats’ side],” Baldwin continues. “Somebody great’s going to come up, I hope. But the only reason I say that is because I’d love to run for that kind of position, to have things be very common sense. There’s so many things this country needs to do that are so obvious.”

Exactly, so Alec put your ego where your mouth is and run. You will find however that your crap will not get you very far and you will fall flat on your face and not even make it out of the the primaries.

Well, sure he would. And if I ran for Prime Minister of Great Britain, I would win. But I think I’ll hold out for King of Spain instead. I’ve heard it’s good to be the king.

out of curiosity, if theres anyone who listens to The King of All Media anymore, but what does Stern say or think about Trump?

Trump was on his show many times and was always liked by Howard. In fact Trump was at Howards wedding a few years back. I can’t imagine Stern dumb enough to start trashing Trump.

The entire left wing in this country has lost its collective mind. They’re all freaking nuts. But go ahead Alex. Run for president. Let’s see how that goes for you.

Remember when the idiot Dems were trying to get the electors to revolt against the president in the Electoral College and they had TV ads with an actor who had read lines written for him by a screenwriter in the fictional role of president?
That’s good enough for pinhead millennials and stupid viewers of The View,Ellen and Oprah.

Happily it wasn’t enough for the electors. Whew!

He's a stupid narcissistic leftist with an enormously inflated opinion of himself and his abilities. Makes him just as qualified as a democrat candidate as the turd who formerly befouled the white hut.
