Just because you can run for presidential or other elections, doesn't always mean you should. Sick of these damn celebrities and shit coming up to take a swing. Look at the damage caused by one 'celebrity' in two fucking terms! All it takes is one! And yes I know of the other guy.

Reagan was an actor before he set this all in motion, so a dumbass celebrity set this all in motion even before that.
