45 has all these celebs thinking they can run for office with no experience. Is the job market in Hollywood that bad?

I'm real tired of celebrities f*cking up the government. Two of our worst presidents - dotard & Reagan - were both actors before going into politics. That said, if Not Woody Harrelson can take Hot Wheels down, then more power to him.

This man is an uncovered republican.. Joe Manchin style.
He seems to be a fan of Trump's, but hiding it due to being in Hollywood.
I will never forget his passive-aggressive tone to Joe winning and him blasting liberals for criticizing conservatives and basically insinuating that Republicans are the party of "hard workers"

But knowing how everyone like hyping up mediocre white men, I predict that he will do just fine in his pathway into leadership

This is obnoxious! Celebs need to stay in their acting lane. They pretend to be a politician in one movie and they think they really know what it takes.

To be honest, a lot of "real" politicians are incapable of doing their jobs too. We already have enough clowns in politics, we don't need more.

is he even a dem? Or is he a republican/independent?

The bar is in hell. If he runs as an independent, I can see him winning.
and the sad part is, anyone is better than gov. hot wheels

The sad thing is he has a good shot as of right now. I can see Texans voting for him...poor Beto

Biden should appoint Beto to the new commission on voting rights he's going to start. Beto and Julian Castro have been pretty good at registering folks to vote in TX. or immigration or something else.

sucks when you're a popular red state dem...there's kind of a ceiling on how far you can progress

He can have several seats. I saw him on FOX defending the MAGAts behavior. Anytime anyone uses FOX news to springboard their politcal career, WATCH OUT!

Just no.
He has been hiding his far right, Trump lite politics.
The fact that he waited silently throughout the years of Trumps bigotry, racism, hatred and division to come out and attack liberals showed who he truly is.

It’s what Texas deserves.

You'd think Texas would smarten up after their state being put in a black out during winter conditions. Nope. They would be stupid enough to elect him. And they would deserve all the chaos that will come of that.

I want America to start the process of giving Texas their wish to not be part of America. Every couple years they get on that seceding from the union bandwagon. I say, let do this! Cause when they go through another self inflicted sh!t show, the rest of us shouldn't be on the hook.

Agree. I am wondering why this is surprising to anyone. My state voted for Ahhhnold. WI voted for a governor with no college degree...twice. 74M Americans voted for Dotard in November 2020 and literally believe Biden stole the win. I am no longer surprised by any of it.

I wouldn't trust him even though he plays a liberal, he's still a rich, white man from TEXAS. Abbott is the biggest p.o.s. in the world and I think just about anything would be better than him, I just don't think an actor is the way to go. I also remember him saying that we shouldn't gloat about Chump losing. That hinted to me that he's a Repulsivecan sympathizer. I don't trust ANY Repuslive sympathizer. I think the only truly liberal thing about Matthew is his love of weed. Where the hell is Beto?

Yeah, I saw that on Youtube.

He's a righty and pretends to be "fair." I had to live through the Ahnold thing as governor. I wasn't hurt because I was working in a great government job with great pay. But friends who had "regular" jobs struggled and some even lost their homes because of how fµcked up the state was thanks to Ahnold and the GQP. I'd hate to see friends down in Texas having to live through having a dumb-ass, red-neck actor who defended that fuckery at the Capitol on Jan 6th as Governor. The GQP has proven that they don't know sh!t about an economy, because they always wreck good economies Dems leave, because they are too busy giving huge monies to the rich, and lining their pockets. I know damn well this idiot would further fµck up Texas and leave that state almost unrecognizeable.

By the way, friends who were cameramen who worked with this turd on set told me then that he stunk to high heaven. His BO was off the chain. Now that was over 10 years ago, and maybe he's cleaned up since marriage to his 'alleged' dumb as a bag of hammers wife, but friends said that anytime they saw him coming he/friends scattered because he was so funky & stinky.

REAGAN makes them think they can run. Let's not forget California electing not one but TWO actors for governor, both Republicans. I don't claim those hoes.

I would say Texas needs to be careful, but they LOVE Reagan, so they'll be chomping at the bits to potentially create another one.

And he grew up in East Texas as did I and racists and racism is putting it mildly. I know without a doubt what his mindset is. Going Hollywood wont change that East Texas born and raised mentality. I was always on the fence about his cute ass but i went to school with too many like him to not see him for what his ass really is. Marrying a nonwhite, non Southern belle changes nothing

Matt is an actor after all, so I can see him literally not committing to being a liberal to get elected. Then governing as a moderate Dem. I also follow his wife to really see where he is leaning and she definitely seems liberal even the people that she follows. Now that might change up fairly soon but for now I think they are more liberal leaning.

But I do see him using his white male Texas privilege to pander to Republicans or Independents to get elected because let's face it that is how politics is played.

With all of that said I would run to the voting poll for anyone expect for Hot Wheels who is the absolute worst!! I wish Beto would run but I think he is going to wait a bit.
