Biden Backer Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Says He’d ‘Consider a Presidential Run in the Future’
breitbart ^ | 16 Feb 2021 | HANNAH BLEAU

Actor and former WWE superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who has teased the possibility of a presidential run in the past, said he is still open to it and would consider running in the future “if that’s what the people wanted.”

“I would consider a presidential run in the future if that’s what the people wanted,” the Fast and the Furious star said. “Truly I mean that, and I’m not flippant in any way with my answer. That would be up to the people. … So I would wait, and I would listen. I would have my finger on the pulse, my ear to the ground.”

In a 2017 interview on The Ellen Show, the wrestler-turned action star told viewers that he was “seriously considering” a presidential bid, and he hinted elsewhere, telling Vanity Fair that he “wouldn’t rule it out.”

“I wouldn’t rule it out. It would be a great opportunity to help people, so it’s possible. This past election shows that anything can happen,” he said at the time.

Johnson formally endorsed now-President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in September but explained to his 15 million Twitter followers that he has voted for members of both parties in the past. “You guys are both experienced to lead, you’ve done great things. Joe you’ve had such an incredible career, and you’ve led with such great compassion, heart, drive, and soul,” Johnson said in the 5-minute video.

“Kamala you have been a district attorney, a state attorney, a U.S. Senator. You are smart and tough. I have seen you in those hearings,” he continued, referring to her as a “certified badass.”

If he supports individual liberties, the 2nd amendment, limited government and is anti-social medicine I’m all ears.

But I don’t think so.

Any chance that I would vote for him disappeared the second I heard him say he was backing the child sniffer a couple of months back.

A few months ago, I sat down to watch his movie about the skyscraper. Made it through maybe 20 minutes and decided to bail. Just another rote and routine hyper violent Rock show.

Now that I know what a Biden Rump Swab he is, I’ll not even bother again.

Adios, Rock. You put the Dumb in Jock.

At least Daniel Day Lewis makes a lot of effort to change his appearance at every role he does, and he does this every 4 years.

The man is a genius. And what I like about him as well is his desire to keep his life private -- especially his politics. A little strange with his method acting technique, but a true artist at heart.

Yeah, Rock, do it! In fact, all those Hollywood tards should run for president and show us how easy it is to steal an election and run the country.

Can’t stand it when he breaks out the guitar and breaks into song. He’s very proud of his smile too.

He and John Cena think they can act because they did it as wrestlers. Both are truly awful on screen. Tell Vince McMahon to keep his wrestlers in the ring!

President Camacho

~~~

Why are you insulting Comacho?

Granted, Trump has a hyooge ego.
But he ran multinational businesses, dealing with board rooms, lawyers and accountants by the teams, negotiating with everyone from the bureaucrats in New York to the bureaucrats and represenatives of nation states, and winning.

The rock has more than just a hyooge ego, he can be called relatively physically hyooge, and he had a taste of winning in hollywood.

I’ll take option A.

President Camacho
refers to Dwayne Johnson which is what the article is about - I have no idea how you got to DJT form there. Another drive by post ...

I would vote for Terry Crews. I think he’s a closet non-lib.

I was saying, don’t insult President Camacho (Terry Crews btw, in case you are confused) by comparing Dwayne Johhson to him. Thought it was obvious.

I leapt to Trump because I think it takes a lot of arrogance for a hollywood actor to think he can run a country, but while Trump is also not a humble man, he definitely had an enormous amount of experience and leadership to not only justify it, but that it actually made him more qualified than a career politician, because I recognize thats the exact leap that some lefty dem would make if I accused the Rock of having a huge ego.
