13. Dwayne Johnson
Here’s the thing about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson: you might mistake him for the average Hollywood hunk who’s all brawn and no brains and nobody would judge you for thinking so.
However, the truth is that he’s actually quite easy to root for. You might say he’s one bad dude in the best possible way. He could easily land the fanboy vote, seeing as he’s arguably the biggest WWE star of all time, as well as a respected Hollywood personality – far more than your average steroid-pumped bald-headed wrestler in search of a couple of dollars.
The Rock IS filthy rich, don’t get us wrong, but to achieve such international acclaim as a wrestling star, you need to possess a certain amount of wits and charisma – both of which Dwayne Johnson has in ample amounts. He also has a background in criminology, which would probably help him amass millions of followers.
14. Matt Damon
Matt Damon, the ass-kicking star of the Bourne franchise, may have a pretty face, but what many people don’t know is that he attended Harvard University in the late 80’s and early 90’s. What they also might not know is that he began writing Good Will Hunting during the time, which is not something to be overlooked so easily.
Today, Damon is a legit Hollywood mogul and continues to drive his energy toward fighting destruction and disease around the world. With the help of his fellow Ocean’s 11 co-stars, he founded the Not On Our Watch Project. He’s also the man behind the H20 Africa Foundation. You might say he’s a well-rounded actor, but more importantly, he’s a well-rounded human.
15. Kelsey Grammer
Kelsey Grammer is one of the few celebs who decided to side with the Republican Party and openly support them. He would definitely shake up the establishment if he were to follow through with his political ambitions.
Apart from the obvious fame achieved through his entertainment career, Grammer has seen tragedy and lived through personal heartbreak that many Americans can relate to – in 1975, his sister was raped and murdered by spree killer and rapist Freddie Lee Glenn. Additionally, Frasier producer David Angell, who was a good friend of Grammer, passed away during the 9/11 attacks.
We all know how much the common folk love tragedy and Grammer definitely wouldn’t be the first person to score some political points out of pity (even though he has never expressed any desire to do so, mind you, this is all purely hypothetical). Grammer has deep connections within the Republican Party, although his personal history of substance abuse might cause some skepticism during election time.

I support a President who uses language that does not reflect any intimdation from any group. Access to a variety of mental health to all people would create a priceless service. I stand for a strong military as well as a strong police force, creation of jobs and afforadable housing. I have heard that there is bullying going on in buildings designated for homeless people. I would like to see certain people put in charge of keeping peace in these buioldings. I am hoping that a strong protection could help prevent the bullied people from sleeping in the parks and other places etc… I realize that owning houses and renting apartments is becoming more difficult for all people. I am keeping my ears open too seeing different solutions in addressing this issue. With rapid typing I say Blessings to you, Ann

Eastwood’s “pry it out of my cold, dead hands” comment in response to common sense gun reform is remembered. Well.
3 out of 4 Americans, including gun owners like myself, favored gun control . More than half still do. He chose to ignore the babies of Sandy Hook and the other innocent victims of gun violence. Nope. He’s not getting in there.
And with the exception of Stewart and Colbert, he, like all the rest lack the political experience and knowledge the job demands.
They’re the only two I’d possibly consider.
