Rumors of McConaughey making a run for Governor have been swirling for years. But has the time finally now come? I sure as hell believe so and here’s why.

First of all, he’d win. No doubt about it. I know it, you know it and McConaughey knows it. It doesn’t matter Texas is a historically republican state. Because when it comes to McConaughey, he represents all Texans. Politics, gender and race all become irrelevant when you throw McConaughey in the mix. He is Texas and if you polled the citizens of this great State, you’d get well over 50% who‘d vote for him to be their voice and their representative. Facts.

And while McConaughey has always been a philanthropist and never shied away from using his platform to promote awareness to any cause important to him, there’s no question he’s really ramped it up over the past few months:

[BannonsLiver]

the whole Masks are Good thing!

[onetexan]

25. MM is hugely popular w the young ppl & here in Austin

He is our Minister of Culture not to mention he's now Professor Mcconaheigh
Guy's very well spoken, is a philanthropist &supports great causes, embraces diversity, promotes equality & champions environmental causes. Those are all Democratic issues, aren't theu?

Aloha Cha

[Cha]

31. Mahalo for that on MM..

Aloha, onetexan!

[brooklynite]

5. Meh...

Celebrity candidates don't appeal to me...and frequently don't appeal to the voters.

7. +++

6. No thanks, and his passive views on Trump speak volumes why

[Liberal In Texas]

11. "The interview took place on 20 January, the day of the presidential inauguration." over 3 years ago

Things change. People change.

[still_one]

13. There was no mystery that trump was a racist, bigot, and sexist during his campaign. Trump hasn't

changed one bit

[Bradshaw3]

14. So he didn't know what drumpf was like three years ago?

Doesn't say much for him.

[PubliusEnigma]

8. Naked Bongo Inaugural?!?

[onetexan]

12. LOL

[doc03]

9. But there are tapes showing him having sex

with a car.

[jimlup]

10. Are you sure he's a dem?

I'll be honest, and maybe it is male jealousy thing, but, I've never liked him much. Just something about him bugs me.

[NotAPuppet]

17. I always thought that he was a Republican.

I don’t like him much either, and it’s not jealousy in my case since I’m a woman.

[onetexan]

20. if there's anyone who can engage and get young people fired up it's MM.

He has alot of great leadership qualities, not to mention he's empathetic & kind, and is also a philanthropist and donates his time to good causes.

[rockfordfile]

32. No

[tinrobot]

15. I just want to see the commercials

Hope they're similar to the Lincoln ads.

[Bradshaw3]

16. I imagine there are much better candidates

If not, that doesn't speak well of Texas Democrats. Other than his celeb status what is so great about him as a public servant? I saw him delivering something the other day and getting lots of pub for doing it. Always seemed like a show off to me.

[jorgevlorgan]

18. but he's a trump supporter!

His endorsement speech he said "alt right alright alt right"!






In reality, I think that would be cool!

[octoberlib]

19. He should get some experience in government first. State Governor isn't an

entry level job.

[Brother Buzz]

29. It is if you're an actor from California

To wit: Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger

[qazplm135]

21. He keeps getting older,

but his voters stay the same age.

[angel823]

24. I see

what you did there!

[ananda]

22. I think I'll stick with Beto or one of the Castros.

nt

[Paladin]

23. Do it, Matthew. As a Democrat. Please. (nt)

[left-of-center2012]

26. What are his policies?

Or is he just running as a celeb?

[onetexan]

27. Read the article. It's speculation at this point. MM hasn't explicitly said anything. But rumors

tend to have some truth to them in politics. I'd imagine he won't ocme out declaring his candidacy till at least next year.

[left-of-center2012]

30. "MM hasn't explicitly said anything"

"But rumors"

So, no thanks.

[jalan48]

28. Those gas guzzling cars he's pushing in television ads makes me doubt climate change is high on

his agenda.

[rockfordfile]

33. No he's a right-winger

[onetexan]

34. i don't think so. His wife is Brazilian. His kids are mixed. His views are moderate.
