Alec Baldwin Is Sure He Would Win if He Ran for President: ‘Hands Down, I Would Win’
Observer ^ | 06/12/18 | Brandon Katz

Alec Baldwin may not be satisfied merely playing the President of the United States on Saturday Night Live; instead, he may actually want the real job for himself.

On Monday, Baldwin—who won an Emmy last year for his portrayal of Donald Trump on SNL—told Howard Stern that he could beat the current Commander in Chief if he decided to run for the top office in 2020.

Should we add Baldwin’s name to the growing list of celebrities tied to the White House? Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Oprah Winfrey could use some company.

While discussing the 2020 election, Baldwin said he “can only think of a couple people who I think could beat Trump.”

Stern replied, “I’ve got a name for you: Alec Baldwin.”

because the rest are about to start running away from certain defeat in 2020

If only ONE black candidate runs, including one who really has nothing to lose by running in 2020 (e.g. Deval Patrick), Baldwin ain't goin' nowhere. He might get money, he won't get votes among the Dem base.

Here is the thing: Leftists look at Trump and exclaim “See! See! He is just a celebrity and he won! We have more famous and better celebrities than Trump, we would win easily if we run Oprah or Baldwin!”

They simply refuse to see that Trump is a billionaire, and he got it not from reading a script, but from wading knee deep into real estate in viper pits like New York City, negotiating hard deals, and managing complex issues, doing it all and developing a well-deserved reputation for grindingly long hours, hard work, and nastily tenacious negotiations.

I find it humorous. Trump didn’t want to do debate prep during the campaign and said “I don’t need it. I know it already.” So he did less than people think. Can you see dimwits like Baldwin or Oprah going into a debate even with extensive prep?

It is laughable. Run, Arreck, Run!

I guarantee the skeletons in Baldwin’s closet.

There’s not a closet big enough to hold all of his skeletons.

I am so watching that movie again!

What they need to do is a remake with Trump leading Team America, and Kim Jong Un allied with him against the Euroweenies!

The Hollywood crowd . . .nothing but self-pontificators. Those who pay their hard-earned money to watch their performances/movies elevated them to their positions of self-importance. I am happy to say I have not contributed!

I wonder if Trump can beat Reagan with all 50 states. He won’t be as kind to his opponent as Reagan was to Mondale.

Sheesh, the STUPID is really strong in this one! Go for it Alec, spend your money freely and see what results you get!

LEFTist Hollywierd has a couple of generations of celebrities who think that since Ronald Reagan was an amiable dunce, who got the brass ring, then that means that they can do him better. Lots of luck with that!

Alec Baldwin on radio. This should disabuse anyone of the idea that he could get elected to anything.

Alec Baldwin should run then.
He should line up the donors, get support from the Democrat Party Elite, build his organization, hammer out a platform, and go.
He might want to make a reality show out of it, too, so we can laugh maniacally when we replay it.

He could very well be right about his daughter. His problem is it got recorded and the prior context of what led into that phone call isn’t recorded.

Doesn’t matter what a Leftist says, no harm no foul, probably just got out of bed on the wrong side those days, or something like that! /s;)
