1. He's not a Democrat AFAIK

I'd much prefer he not run, and Beto does.

[jorgevlorgan]

7. He is a "both sides are the same" idiot

Which basically makes him a right wing extremist

[Claire Oh Nette]

12. He should make films

He's pretty, and he's a good actor, so he should stick to that.

Beto, the Castro brothers, get these guys to right the Texas ship.

[Cha]

13. Yeah, he's not as cool as he thinks he

is.

[dalton99a]

28. +1. McConaughey hasn't said ONE THING negative about Trump, Abbott or any Republican

- or anything positive about Biden, Beto or any Democrat.

He thinks he can fool people

[Diamond_Dog]

35. I think he leans to the right.

[dweller]

20. Actually, I think he's

altright.. altright ... altright ...
🤔

✌🏻

[jorgevlorgan]

21. That joke is going to have a lot more relevance now that he is actually running for something

[Phoenix61]

2. McConaugnhey needs to stick to acting.nt

[marble falls]

3. Beto's plenty. Matt should go after Ted Cruz. I keep forgetting the name of the woman Dem who ...

... filibustered against the GOP, she was strong.

[Hamlette]

4. do you think he would be better than Cruz

Matt is pretty far right

[marble falls]

6. He's almost a Blue Dog. Better than Cruz.

[Beachnutt]

5. I agree with that, he was asked about that on TV this morning and

he sidestepped it.

[hurl]

11. Wendy Davis

She was strong, but still over half the women in Texas sided with Abbott despite his very public desire to control their reproductive destinies. That's one reason I think Texas turning blue is a little farther out than any of us hope.

[Claire Oh Nette]

14. Wendy Davis

[bdamomma]

9. Matt

should stick with acting Period. Not this crap again.

[Diamond_Dog]

22. I agree

[onecaliberal]

10. I will go with Beto.

[Beachnutt]

15. I would go with Beto also but this RED state is going to be hard turn

blue

[onecaliberal]

16. I feel your pain. I live in CA22 District of Devin Nunes.

[Beachnutt]

17. I'm throwing up in my own mouth at the thought of that guy but Cruz ,cornhole,abbott and patrick are

just as bad, I'd take Matt but I'd have to hold my nose...

[redstateblues]

29. I like Beto-He hasn't shown he can win statewide in TX

Especially after his "confiscate the guns" comment in a state where there are so many "cowboys"

[bdamomma]

23. not a constituent

but Beto is a way better choice, he cares about the people.

[onecaliberal]

24. I'm not one either but I've donated plenty to him when he was a candidate.

[abqtommy]

18. I've enjoyed many of Matthew's movies but I think actors make extra-lousy politicians.

I'll give Matt a pass on criticism just for his performance in the informative and riveting movie Free State Of Jones. It's based on a true story and isn't the kind of movie a reTHUG
would make.

If I lived in Texas Beto would get my vote.

[JI7]

19. Beto got 48 percent last time and showed everyday how much he Texas means to him

in fact he does more for Texas than the Republicans in office.

48 was impressive and with Stracey Abrams help Beto has a good chance.

Makes NOOOO sense to run anyone else if Beto is running.

[redstateblues]

31. We got crushed in TX in the last GE. Supposedly

TX was in play. Not so much.

[JI7]

33. We didn't get crushed. Biden got 46 percent of the vote and did not

campaign in the state.

[redstateblues]

36. There was an expectation that we would be competitive in TX

and maybe even win. It was very disappointing. It was't close. Call it what you want.

[JI7]

38. There was never a serious expectation that we would win which is why Biden did not

campaign in the state .

It's only among the internet where people hype things up and it's more about hope.

[redstateblues]

40. I still think we are 2 or 3 cycles before there is a serious challenge

To the TX Republicans. As much as as I like Beto, there is a reason he hasn’t decided he’s announced he is running.

[JI7]

41. HE said he is considering it .

[Tree Lady]

25. My husband thinks if Matthew wins he will screw up Texas

How Arnold did CA and cause next election to go to democrats. I am not so sure about that but he might be right about Matthew winning unfortunately people vote for dumb reasons.

[redstateblues]

37. TX can't be much more than he already is

[pnwmom]

26. One more egotistical entertainer. NO, THANKS!

Give me Beto any day.

[redstateblues]

42. They are all egotistical. They are politicians

[pnwmom]

43. The actor is far worse. He thinks he's cut out for Governor even though

he's never held another position in the government.

He probably fancies himself to be another Ronald Reagan or Donald Trump.

[UTUSN]

27. So in a spoiler campaign ABBOTT wins. Same as how Gov.GOODHAIR squeaked wins a time or two.

Like in 2006 GOODHAIR won with (only) 39% https://ballotpedia.org/Rick_Perry_(Texas) and the Dem had 29%, with two spoilers (a woman favored by teachers and "Kinky" FRIEDMAN), who got 18% & 12%, respectively. FRIEDMAN got exposure from ANUS-in-the-Morning, plus the supposedly Lib young ones who go for the iconoclastic types - artsy yard signs.

I don't know whether the O.P.'s premise is both Beto and the irksome McCONAUGHY running at the same time.

[Texasgal]

30. NO! Just NO!

Texas politics is not some pet project! We need REAL leadership!

I hope he does NOT run! That'll just make sure we get another wingnut in office and Texas is close to changing!

Please don't peddle this shit!

[jcgoldie]

32. Pretty sure Matthew McConaughey isn't "we"

Not to mention he seems to be acting and not really understand much of anything when he speaks.

[ancianita]

34. I'm with Texasgal. McConaughey's just another guilt ridden Republican who should just help Beto.

He's not smart enough to run that state.

[rockfordfile]

39. The pos is a coward. Cruz is a pos scumbag and douchebag in the video was afraid to call him out
