Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Go for it, dude. – Fading actor and public assault and battery specialist Alec Baldwin took to his Twitter account yesterday (because that’s how all the fading celebrities communicate – right, Alyssa Milano?) and said this:
HABFoundation ✔ @ABFalecbaldwin If I ran for President, would you vote for me?
I won’t ask you for any $.
And I promise I will win.
Beating Trump would be so easy.
So easy.
So easy.
2,459 9:11 AM - Apr 8, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 2,276 people are talking about this Yeah, that’s what Hillary Clinton thought, too. But, oh, hell, why not? Why not have an actor who is most famous for impersonating the President run against him? Would he be any less credible than than the assortment of cranks, hacks, and political grifters who are already in the race?
After all, the field already includes a candidate who is most famous for impersonating an Indian, another who thinks he is Spartacus, a senator who got ahead by sleeping around, another senator who is most notable for abusing her staff, a senator from New York who nobody can figure out why in the hell she’s in the race, a loser who wears sheep suits and rides a skateboard onto stage, a Commie who honeymooned at Lenin’s tomb, and a former vice president who can’t keep his hands off of women and children.
Would Alec Baldwin really bring any less credibility to a presidential race than that clown car? I mean, shoot, he did play Jack Ryan in a movie that one time, so he’s got that going for him.
And I haven’t even mentioned Pete Buttigieg yet. Here’s a guy who favors murdering children right up until the moment at which they would be born and even beyond, and he just spent half an interview on “Meet the Press” and much of his speech at something called the LGBTQ Victory Fund National Champagne Brunch questioning the religious beliefs of the sitting President and Vice President of the United States.
Well, isn’t that special? (Some of you baby boomers will get that reference; you Millennials will probably have to Google it.)
As I predicted a few weeks ago, Mr. Buttigieg is the latest media-facilitated “rising star” in Democrat circles, a guy with no real notable political achievements to speak of – other than getting elected to a notable office – but a guy who checks a lot of the demographic boxes favored by the Democrats’ social justice warrior voter base and who looks good on television. He’s probably about to be eclipsed by the looming, very large presence of the next media-facilitated Democrat “rising star”, Stacey Abrams, but for now, he’s da bomb in media circles, the guy all the Sunday shows are dying to have as their guest and all the fake newspapers and magazines like Vanity Fair can’t wait to profile and compare to Kennedys. He should enjoy all the attention while he can.
But wait, there’s more!
Now, we have this Eric Swalwell guy officially running. He made that official announcement on … wait for it… the Late Show with Stephen Colbert! Because of course he did.
Swalwell is a guy who has the maturity level of the average college frat social director – he is Otter from “Animal House” in the flesh.
His entire schtick is to go on CNN and MSNBC and lie about all the proof of Russia Collusion he has seen but can’t talk about in any detail because it’s all like doublesecretprobation and stuff and only he and Adam Schiff have seen it but everyone is supposed to believe him because he’s the social director for the biggest frat of all, the Democrat Party.
*sigh*
If Lorne Michaels and the writers at Saturday Night Live were intent on creating real humor these days rather than tiresome political swill, they’d invite Tim Matheson to guest host and have him do an impression of Eric Swalwell announcing his presidential run standing next to the beer keg at the frat party. Have Stephen Colbert play the Boone character. That would be some funny stuff right there.
But back to Alec Baldwin: He was likely joking with that tweet yesterday, but hey, why wouldn’t he go ahead and jump into this race? After all, it’s already a car filled with clowns, and he’s a professional clown these days, so he’d fit right in.
Kamala would probably even let him call shotgun.
That is all.

Didn’t he have a hugely successful radio show a few years ago? /sarc
Hey. he is the current host of the reboot of the game show Match Game.
Stacey Abrams? I have a better chance than her!
I find this entire Democrat nomination process quite amusing. Everyone is seeing how far to the left they can go. In my humble opinion, I still believe they are all auditioning to be Hillary’s running mate. With the new rules in the Democrat party about super delegates, not one of these clowns will win on first ballot. I can see the “Recruit Hillary” signs at the convention.
<><> He made the announcement on … wait for it… the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
<><> his statements indicate Swalwell has the maturity level of the average college frat social director – think Otter from “Animal House”.
<><> campaign strategy? lie like hell on CNN and MSNBC about Russia Collusion he has "seen" but can’t talk about because it’s all, like, secret, and stuff.
<><> must be true b/c only Smallwell and pencil-neck Adam Schiff have seen Russian collusion stuff,
<><> every voter believes Smallwell, because he’s the social director for the biggest frat of all, the Democrat Party.
Eric Swalwell... Wasn’t he in Spinal Tap? Oh, nevermind. That was Derek Smalls.
An open convention for the RATS is a definite possibility.
I want the snack stand concession.
I’ll sell a lot of Kool Aid.
Alex must be first cousin to Charlie Sheen
They figure they can cash in on a few mil, then bow out.
Baldwin about to find out how fast egos die.
