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 Sterns conversation turns to the 2020 election, and Baldwin admits that he can only think of a couple people who I think could beat Trump.
Ive 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 Baldwins idea sounds like a joke at first Ive gotta do Match Game! he suddenly remembers, referencing his current gig as the host of ABCs summer game show he later becomes more thoughtful about the idea of running for president, shooting down Sterns insinuation that he is the hope of the Democratic Party.
Im only saying [I would run] because people dont really have a sense of whos going to come up [on the Democrats side], Baldwin continues. Somebody greats going to come up, I hope. But the only reason I say that is because Id love to run for that kind of position, to have things be very common sense. Theres so many things this country needs to do that are so obvious.
Both Alec Baldwin and I are equally qualified to run for president.
The vetting process prior to the people states voting adds the final condition required by the Constitution to become president.
No mention of the people there . . .
- Article II Section 1:
- Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
>>Crazy Baldwin still trying to be a comedian.<<
Right! Ten thousand comedians out of work and this creep is trying to be funny.
My brother, even today still considers Trump a buffoon.
I truly believe that this is a mental aberration. They can’t let go, unless it’s to the detriment of someone else, eg I think many neo Trumpers, blame Clinton for their blindness.
No question we are seeing something that we never thought we would see. I pray for this man’s safety.
The fact that the electoral college was created is all the proof I need to know that somebody knew the democrats would go full commie and start meddling with our elections.
Point taken.
I pondered how much detail was required to make my point that the Constitution does not limit who can run for president.
I said the people select from who is running for president to elect who becomes president because each state decides how the sovereigns votes direct the Electoral College vote.
Sometimes too much detail obscures the point.
Alec Baldwin for US President? Yes, I’d want you to run, just to see how many EV would be Trump’s... The Ticket of Baldwin/Clooney...what a ticket...
It would be pretty amazing. Baldwin might win 1-2 states plus DC. That’s about it.
LOL. Agreed!
‘Team America: World Police’. ‘Nuff said.
This clown also said he would be number 1 on the radio. He did not last very long.
Alex Baldwin is a dumb@ss. He is completely delllusiobal.
He is a typical liberal. They all have the same trait in common.
The lives they believe in all hinge on what others think of them, imaginary or not.
