What non-politician could throw their name in the presidential race as an independent (campaign funds are no issue) and garnish the most overall votes across the nation?

(I tried a poll but only gave me 2 options)

Taylor Swift

Dolly Parton

Snoop Dogg


Throw some names and thoughts on here.

Swift would get a nice number of women but maybe only mostly white younger democratic….but those women vote at a great %

Dolly? A charming character that middle age people love and the 60-85 year old men would maybe pull for

Snoop? Would get a lot of the votes of people who love how cool he is and some black votes 


I struggled with others that would cover a decent size spectrum. Jim Nantz, Freddie Freeman. To me needs to be beloved people but very popular. Likely music, tv/movie person.

No "add option" button?

Not sure on that one as he's a pretty hardcore Republican and not as mainstream as Dwayne Johnson. A lot of people just like The Rock for his movies and social media stuff. Not sure Jacobs is as well known other than when he was Kane.

Anderson Cooper may get a lot of votes.

Elon could probably get a powerful campaign going.

Tom Hanks maybe.

Nick Saban might do pretty well

Mayor of Knoxville (at least he was). Big fan.

Yeah, Jacobs was the Undertaker's brother, Kane in WWE. Super conservative Trump backer and mayor of Knox County, TN.

Imagine Snoop getting Kim Jong Un all smoked up. That gets my vote!

Not sure on Stewart or Cuban as 50% of the country can't stand them. Phelps would probably do well.

Well sure, but half would love them! 


I do think both are smart enough, and not far enough left, that they would clean up the middle men in this hypothetical.

At one time I would’ve said Tom Hanks. But somehow the right thing he’s a pederast now.

Mark Cuban is a political surrogate now and there is an argument that the same title can be given to all of the late night hosts, seeing as how they knowingly repeated Dem propaganda on the nightly.
