IMO, hate to see him sully the family reputation by becoming a politician. Entertain us while we find you entertaining!

What has he really suceeded at other than making duck calls? Remember that episode where he tried to make wine? I’d exect about the same results if he ran for office.

I’d hate to see him crushed like Sarah Palin.

Would anyone be calling for this guy to run for office if they hadn’t seen him on a TV show? If not, then he probably should not run.

That’s one more success than the Obamadork.

Exactly. Electing on the status of being a celebrity leaves you wide open for unintended consequences. Jesse Ventura comes to mind.

He should run if he wants to. It’s his right as well as all of ours.

He's the one with the degrees who took the company to the multi-million dollar entity that it's become.

BINGO!!!

Willie is NOT the goofy guy they make him out to be on the show.
His dad started the business in 1972 and had some success but it wasn’t until Willie took it over that it became a MULTI-MILLION dollar business.

The guy ‘acts’ goofy on the show sometimes. The winery show... come on, that was spare time goofiness for the sake of the t.v. show folks.

Willie is the one who got that business put on t.v. in the first place.

I think he’s a pretty brilliant guy.

On the other hand, yep - I’d hate to see what the state-run media would do to him and his family.

It would probably be the end of the t.v. show as well.

He needs a shave, and in Congress he’ll sure as hell get one.

Well then he should run for POTUS. He’s definitely more qualified and likeable and I dont think he would ever try to take away our guns...: )
