Have been timelines on that.I think she'd have done a good job seriously. Successful and caring.I would have loved to have seen Dolly Parton elected as President
Robert Redford became president of the United States in Watchmen.Joke?
Gates probably has far more power as it is.I would imagine Bill Gates or Adam Sandler. I am aware that Kanye West ran for president, but what if he was more dedicated to the political cause even not as a presidential candidate. He probably could have more of a legitimate politician rather than just a humorous Easter egg on the voting ballot.
Bill Gates would have an idea to be a politician due to his already gained influence through his company in around 2006. He would probably be outraged by an infringement on media freedoms caused by an overturning of a press law and start to enter politics to ensure that his idea of "free speech"(whatever he believes free speech to mean) is set in politics. Despite his high profile, he would probably be disregarded as a "hopeless technocrat" due to his technical knowledge. Although he would have to MAKE time to be a politician, so he would have to sell his business or entitle someone to it(this will surely be a lot of butterflies, so don't expect Xbox or Windows Vista to just magically take off). Also, I am not much of a good researcher, so this post might not make sense.
I also have the idea of Adam Sandler being a politician because why the heck not?
As a token of thanks to the people who liked and loved the above this is Kenny Everett's Rod Stewart impersonation which Sir Rodney hates and to be fair to him the joke isn't funny when its on one's self.He also said, "When England was a kingdom, we had a king. When we were an empire, we had an emperor. Now we're a country, and we have Margaret Thatcher." Which got him sacked from BBC Radio Two.
But it was all done in the best possible taste.
Day did run for Parliament as a Liberal in 1959.Robin Day & Jeremy Paxman go into politics and receive their just deserts by being interviewed as aggressively as they interviewed politicians IOTL.
In this interview "Paxo" famously asked Michael Howard the same question twelve times.
However, he's since said that he only asked the question twelve times because the director asked him to "fill in" because they weren't ready to show the next item.
This is one of Robin Day's. Unfortunately, the quality of the sound is poor.
I wrote that post as a joke. But, yes you're right. I'd forgotten about that.Day did run for Parliament as a Liberal in 1959.
If any of you eventually need people from Latin America for a TL:What celebrities do you think would run for office in alternate timelines? I thought of this after hearing on a podcast that Ronald Reagan had asked John Wayne to run on the Republican ticket for California governor after Reagan’s term ended, but Wayne said no and even if he had, the Duke was in poor health, dying in 1979. What if he ran though?
Also, what about other celebs who seriously considered running? I’m sure plenty hsve but I know of some, like Tim McGraw running for either governor of Tennessee or his native Louisiana, or Jeff Bridges running for Senate in Montana. Also, you do have in otl folks like Clint Eastwood or Martin Sheen who were small town mayors. So any other fun ideas for celeb office holders?
It could still happen.I believe Arnold Schwarzenegger had previously aspired about running for president of the U.S. Had he not been born in Austria, we could've had President Schwarzenegger in an alternate universe.
He’s also in his 70s. He won’t live foreverIt could still happen.
He's still alive and Constitutional amendments are a thing
