Michael Moore went on the View and threw around the names of celebrities who he believes could beat Donald Trump in the next presidential election.

Moore, who was introduced by Joy Behar as her 'favorite agitator,' shared his ideas on why a celebrity could win the White House for the Democratic party, declaring, 'We need to run a beloved American in 2020.'

'If we ran Al Franken, ran Tom Hanks — who wouldn't vote for Tom Hanks for president of the United States? C'mon! Or Oprah!' Moore exclaimed.

Hanks previously joked about running alongside Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson during an Saturday Night Live opening monologue skit back in March which is how Hanks' name started popping up for President.

Johnson has said of that his own presidential aspirations are a 'real possibility.'(continued)

What about...

Lindsay Lohan (she's Muslim after all)
Smiley Virus (she'll get the LGBT vote)
Rosie O'Donnell (she'll get the gravity-challenged vote)
Keith Olbermann (he doesn't spend too much time mansplaining sports)
Cenk Uygur with Ana Kasparian as Veep (give the Leftists what the wish for)

Geez. I guess running another minority or woman just on that basis isn’t enough for them anymore. It will have to be a female, minority movie star. Maybe they will run Darryl Hannah, I hear she is quite the burnt out, mindless, moonbat liberal...ugly as sin, too. Maybe they will pump her full of botox the way John Kerry did and try to run her.

That’s all they have. And it illuminates their thought process quite well.

I shouldn’t be surprised. These are the same people, 50 years later you still hear chanting at protests “Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho, blah blah blah blah blah has got to go!”

They are so pathetically intellectually bankrupt they can’t even think of a new chant.

How do you pronounce Cenk Uygur? I’ve heard somebody call him “Chink” but that sounds way too close to an ethnic slur and seems like they wouldn’t pronounce it that way.

The fat has gone to Moore’s brain if he thinks a celebretard
can defeat an incumbent president who is strong and gets things done in spite of so many forces allied against him.

So what are they saying??? That the Democrat party is so bankrupt, in more ways than one, that they can’t find any office holder or prominent leader in the party, to be a presidential candidate???

And do they think that Trump won election because he’s a celebrity, having not held elective office before???

In those cases, what are we saying? That Democrats have no plans, no ideas for a political platform? And, that they think the only way to defeat Trump would be to run a liberal celeb such as Oprah????

That "Hey, hey, ho, ho" chant must be 50 or 60 years old. Yawn.

The scary thing is that the low information voters elected Barry Soetoro twice. They could potentially elect anyone, Darryl Hannah included.

They still do not understand why Trump won. They spent all last year saying “A celebrity can’t win.”

Now they think ONLY a celebrity can save them.

There are only five White House chefs, not counting their underlings.

Scary, but true! I must admit, I used to have faith that the American electorate would never, ever have voted in someone as knowingly racist, radical, anti-American, and Marxist as Obama, but even knowing about his associations with people like Bill Ayers and “Reverend” Wright, he still got voted in.

That pretty much destroyed any semblance of respect for or faith in the electorate for me.

Sad. That has been very disillusioning for me.
