Is Ben Affleck planning on a future career in politics? |
|
He just handed fTucker Carlson's ass to him live on CNN, easily holding his own in their discussion.
I'd like to see more of him. Maybe a guest hosting spot on Crossfire sometime soon, followed by who knows what in the years to come?

5. Back During the Bennifer Days |
|
in one of the 6 bazillion articles written about them, there was something about him wanting to run for office someday. And it's long been said that Matt Damon is the better actor and Ben Affleck is the better politician in that he plays (before JLo anyway) the Hollywood game as good as anyone.

and the smarts for politics. It would be great to finally see a democratic actor in a political office.

The joys of that art too great to imagine: looks good on camera; can string not just one but two grammatically correct sentences together -- IN A ROW -- AND has progressive values.

"Chasing Amy" is one of the best films I've EVER seen.

He seems to be a very progressive Democrat, even if he is a Red Sox nut :puke:

18. welcome to DU, and... |
|
Even if Ben Affleck is not a great actor, he is still better than Ronald Reagan or Arnold when it comes to acting chops... and, I enjoyed a lot of Arnold's 80s movies.

He's still too young to get the AARP on his side.
After that, I'd like to see him hand arnie's ass to him in a sling. :-)

...but I would find it hard to vote for a guy whom I saw tell someone, "Convince us you deserve to be in the room with us."
If it weren't for Gus van Sant, this chump would be NOWHERE.
