Surprised so many are writing the idea of him running and winning off. TX is actually the perfect state for a celebrity like him to win. In a state with historically poor turnout that's simultaneously undergoing a demographic shift is a near perfect environment for someone like McConaughey to win.
At this time I wouldn't predict it but I'd be less than surprised if he pulled it off.
Seriously. I don’t know why people are still so smug and snarky about things like this after Trump proved that anything is possible in this bats—t crazy timeline. Matthew McConaughey as Governor of Texas is FAR less crazy than what’s actually happened over the past few years. Downright foolish to dismiss the idea out of hand at this point.
