George and Amal Clooney My current picks for 2020 POTUS and FLOTUS!

[Zen Democrat]

Our candidate MUST be a celebrity. That's obvious to me.
He MUST be progressive. The midterms affirm that.
He MUST have an attactive family. Twins in the White House.
Who but George Clooney?
I can't see any of the current political folks that can break Trump's spell.
Republicans can't complain about Hollywood, given Reagan.

That is all.

[demmiblue]

1. Good lawd. n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Oh, please. The one thing our candidate must NOT be is another fucking celebrity.

[unitedwethrive]

6. It's the repubs that want a celebrity because they don't have the intellect to learn about

someone new...or they can't separate Hollywood from reality.

[Jersey Devil]

3. I'd rather go with one of the Kardashians, maybe 2 of them

Which one though? So hard to choose.

[AJT]

9. Kim and Kanye 2020!!!

We need internet celebs.

[tman]

4. Running a 'hollywood' celebrity would be the biggest gift Trump could hope for.

[Codeine]

5. Utterly absurd.

Let’s not lower ourselves to that sort of nonsense.

[violetpastille]

7. No thank you.

Our candidate must NOT be a celebrity. That's obvious to me.

Progressive yes.

Ordinary looking family is just fine.

I don't care what Republicans complain of.

That is all.

[cwydro]

8. Lol.

DU never fails to amuse.

And no, I didn’t miss you kept saying HE. Smh.

[BeyondGeography]

10. People rec'd this?

[BannonsLiver]

11. Jesus, get real. Come back to reality.

[LanternWaste]

12. No my little friend... that is certainly not all.

A celebrity, huh?

I'm not completely surprised a lot of people, even alleged Democrats, have fallen for the lowest common denominators offered; it's the mentally convenient choice of the irrational consumer-branded who believe that critical thought is the enemy of the mind.

They're more often than not, the same ones who make empty pronunciations lacking any evidence to support them.

(affirmations are great for writing on the bathroom mirrors, but they hold few realities)

[cwydro]

17. Gosh, I hate when I agree with you!

But, spot on.

[Wintryjade]

13. No.

[tenderfoot]

14. Not at all amusing

Do better

[octoberlib]

15. No more entertainers. We need to have some respect for the office of the Presidency

[UniteFightBack]

16. I will vote for whomever can win....ya know I was thinking....BIDEN/BETO 2020 !!!!

[Totally Tunsie]

18. Um, No.

...or did you just forget to use the smiley?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. Um, no.

Next question.

[meadowlander]

20. President of the US is not an entry level position.

We have lots of great choices for 2020 any one of whom should be able to beat Trump if we can un-tilt the board towards Republicans. That's what we should be focusing on.

[leftyladyfrommo]

21. He won't run. They have asked him before.

He said there were too many women and too many drugs.

[cwydro]

22. Amal is a lawyer with real credentials. George is an actor.

It speaks volumes that you picked him for potus and her for flotus.

Dear god. And right here on DU.

[SweetieD]

23. No thanks

[Zen Democrat]

24. You are all hooting, but we MUST sweat the Red Fever.

And I say this because I know more than a few of my personal acquaintances (I'm in Texas, FWIW) voted for Clinton twice, Gore, Kerry, Obama twice, and Donald Trump.

I think at some point we need to realize that we are a nation where the idiots have gained advantage quickly. Idiots respond to a cult of personality. We're never gonna win without shiny names like Oprah and George. George is a political animal, comes from a strong Democratic family, and his wife is an international political star.

I understand your comments, and my personal pick for a political candidate for prez in a normal world would be Kamala Harris. But I don't believe any of them - Warren, Biden, Harris, Booker, Beto, Newsom, et al., will save us from the Nazi in the White House. This is war, Democrats!

We need to CAPTURE idiot votes from the right if they don't come with a working brain. We can't appeal to their intellect or their humanity since they seem to posses neither.

Back in the day, the Germans may theoretically have voted for Marlene Dietrich or Hedy Lamarr instead of Trump's Hero.
