Alec Baldwin for President?
by EG
It certainly would be an epic battle of egos. Alec Baldwin told Howard Stern on Monday that he thinks he could easily win a presidential election against Donald Trump in 2020 and that he would be a good president. We think that electing someone whose qualifications amount to imitating the president on Saturday Night Live doesn't sound like a much better idea than electing a reality-TV star. Particularly when the imitator has Alec's infamous anger issues and history of writing offensive tweets. Read on and let us know what you think.

Emmy-winning actor Alec Baldwin said Monday he would easily win against President Donald Trump if he’d run in the 2020 presidential election.
“If I ran, I would win,” Baldwin told Howard Stern during a discussion on his Sirius XM radio show about the potential candidates in the next presidential election, the Daily Beast reported.

“I would absolutely win. One thousand percent,” the actor added, though joking that his wife and being a host of a game show is stopping him from actually launching a bid to become the leader of the free world.
Stern then suggested Baldwin to run “for president as Donald Trump” – to which Baldwin repeated himself saying that he would have no problem wining against the current president.

“If I ran for president, I would win. Hands down, I would win,” he said. “It would be the funniest, most exciting, craziest campaign.”
This isn’t the first time Baldwin joked about his ability to take on Trump or his suitability to be the president.
“Would I think I’d be a good president? Yeah, I think I’d be a good president,” he told an audience at George Washington University last year, The Hill reported. “To run for office is something that I want to do,” he added, but noted that running “doesn’t seem to be practical with my lifestyle and my children.”
