Sounds like McConaughey is getting serious about running for Texas Governor

@MistyCee I agree. The track record of movie and TV actors in politics is not very good. But, unfortunately, broadcast and social media skills appear to be the primary criteria for getting elected these days.

@dancingtongue Ronald Reagan did rather well.

@RedBaron If you overlook Irangate, the shifting of the tax burden to the middle class which he sold as "tax cuts", and the impact of his disastrous policies on California while getting his training wheels as Governor.

@dancingtongue Not to mention that he is highly regarded for his leadership as compared to recent disasters like Trump.

@RedBaron The man was very good at communicating and selling his positions which is the mark of a leader. He also deserves high marks for some of his achievements -- notably contributing to the end of the Cold War, the strengthening of alliances, and the selling of free markets -- although, ironically, the last two don't seem to have stuck with either the Republicans or Trump supporters. But, as I noted, he had a few disasters on his track record as well.

@dancingtongue Most presidents do. But he also excelled at bipartisanship, famous for his friendship with Tip O'Neill and other Democrats. That is sorely missed today.

@RedBaron Agreed. Sorely missed.
