It is a flawless plan.

I believe they're both Republicans.
The Rock has never said which party he supports.
But if he was Republican he'd be a nice sensible non-arsehole one. He's basically the nicest guy on the planet.

According to WaPo:
"A registered independent, Johnson has been affiliated with the Republican and Democratic parties, having attended both national conventions in 2000 to encourage people to vote."
We'll see.
This is a very cool interview with him about it. http://www.gq.com/story/dwayne-johnson-for-president-cover

He may be nice...but honestly, would he be a good president? I don't even think he's a good David Hasselhoff! 
Is David Hasselhoff democrat or republican?

I've read articles which said that he was a registered Republican. It's usually safe to assume that anyone, especially a member of the hyper-liberal Hollywood and music industry, who won't reveal their political affiliation, is typically a Republican.

That's the Trump effect. Literally ANYONE looks good now.
I would still much prefer Hillary if we're talking actual qualified politicians, but oh well.
Well, you all know my opinion of Trump is that he's a complete f***Ing nutter, and he's proved it yet again. All over the world we have extremely highly intelligent, highly educated scientists who have no doubt that global warming is happening and if the causes, but hold on - Trump knows better.

You might call Trump's election The Hillary Effect. She was so unlikeable that we wound up with Donald Trump as president.
You wound up with him because you voted for an insane arse. YOU are responsible. Though we know the majority of the right-thinking Americans didn't vote for him.

Technically more people found her likeable, as more people voted for her than him!

A banana could have beaten Donald Trump if his opponent had been anyone other than Hillary Clinton. She's that unlikeable and untrustworthy.

I sincerely doubt that a majority of American voters found her likable. People don't always vote for a candidate because they like them, they often vote that way because they dislike their opponent even more. I know that's how it went in my case.
That was the media spin, yes. But millions of people found her very qualified and very likeable.
This pic seems even more prescient today!

Maybe people should have voted for the most qualified and experienced in politics. Just an idea.
Good news: The leader of another nation has offered to take in Americans who are disappointed by Trump's actions today.
Bad news: The nation is France.
