What are his qualifications? A governor's job isn't to 'teach' and 'share' experiences, its to govern and make tough, often unpopular, decisions.

Yes much like the touch decision my Governor made when instead of taking blame for the Winter Freeze, he blamed AOC's Green New Deal. Or that other tough decision he made to repeal the mask mandate even though we are still in midst of a pandemic. Abbott is a PoS and our AG is a criminal.

The entitlement that celebrities have thinking they can benefit the country by becoming a politician is just... A lot. And I'm not saying celebrities can't make great politicians, but there's a lot of disconnect with politicians and their community as it is. We do not have a great track record with politics in general, but there's a bit of PTSD for me and "non-politicians" running for office after the Trump administration.

Also, if he becomes a politician, we definitely won't be getting a Failure to Launch sequel. :crossed:

And so instead of electing someone competent Texans should elect Matthew McConougjy whose credentials are even more minimal than Trumps were?

Maybe New York should’ve voted Cynthia Nixon as mayor

Can celebs please stop thinking they should be running for political office? Did people learn nothing from Trump? Kanye? Arnold? :smh:

Honestly if it takes a little celebrity in places to get people to vote for Democrats, I'm for it. As long as they AREN'T as deplorable as Trump & otherwise a Republican would be in power.

I hear you, but he's been hanging out with men's rights activists, defending sexual abusers, saying the far left is as a bad as the far right, so... Maybe not much better.

was Arnold Schwarzenegger considered good or not?

Definitely not good. He vetoed gay marriage twice, was accused by numerous women of sexual misconduct, and had quite a few ethics issues. His approval rating when he left office was 23% according to Wikipedia.

I dobt know. I'm sure he's a decent guy, but I'd prefer they run for something else first, and then run for a bigger seat like the Senate, Governor, President etc.

Y'all are forgetting about Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He was governor of CA and he did fine, I think? (Any Californians can confirm?)

As long as he's not a repug I say follow your dreams honey. :applause:
