The Clicker - Roseanne's 'totally serious' about presidential run

If it happens, maybe they can tape a Roseanne show reunion in the White House?

    I hope she DOES run! That is certainly NOT to say I like her.

    Bet that'll go over for her about as well as singing the pledge did at the world series.

    It's true, she announced it on the Jay Leno show a while back.

      There is no way I'd ever want her as president of my great nation, but I would love to hear all of her smarta$$ comments to members of the house and senate, etc. Would make for some great entertainment anyway!

      But don't worry, it'll never happen!

    Has she ever run for anything before? Seems strange that someone (anyone) who's never been in politics before to go straight after the presidency. I know she has the money to go for it but would think she's got better ways to spend it than to blow it on a losing campaign.

    I think no matter what level of seriousness here, it's more for publicity than anything. Either that or she's making a point that to be pres in this berg all it takes is the right amount of money and the right friends - or maybe that we need to get politicians out because they are so corrupted and it's going to take electing the common person into offices to do it.

    Sure don't think anyone can do any more harm to the country then the crooks we have in office now.

      Very true Sally!

      And if by some bizarre fluke she actually did win the presidential election, she certainly would be breath of fresh air in the crooked arena.

      As a matter of fact, I'd love to see her call the crooks out, it'd be sort of like a Harper Valley PTA scenario.

      Come to think of it, I'd love to see her in the candidate debates too! Haha!

        Clowns, Showman, Actors, Snake Oil pitchmen and Con artist, seems perfectly normal to me, absolutely nothing unusual here.

        Smarts is not a prerequisite , just know who, what, where, how, why and when to grease, thats all.

        Look at the dough Palin is raking in.

        Brain cells, IQ, morals, ethics, fair play, earnestness, service, good will, honesty,decency, justice, truth, equality and integrity are unnecessary ingredients for putting your name in the hat and winning all the marbles.

        Spend your time and money at Barnum Bailey shows, you know, people that actually give you what you actually paid for, and a show far more entertaining and inspiring.

  • Hey Sal - She's gone Nuts! Anything is possible...
    She spent a wad of money on a macadamia nut farm in Hawaii...
    If she promised never to attempt singing again...in exchange for votes...she might have a shot.
    She'd have a hard campaign...odds are against her...
    She's a Woman - and Jewish - and, oh yeah, I forgot CRAZY!

    (Maybe if Donald Trump picks her as a running mate)

  • Can't do it for that...Meg Whitman spent 140 mil for a losing campaign just to not be Gov of California.

    I think we need to do it the way they do in England. It's a couple of months...election - done deal.

    And how they make such a big deal out of "straw polls", I have no idea...

    Didn't Larry Flynt run for POTUS a few elections ago?

    Can't make much of what sort of POTUS he'd make, but he is certainly qualified to be (....... wait for it .......) Vice President.

    Some things are just too good to resist.

    As much of a joke as Ms Barr running for POTUS is, she'll get a lot of votes if this is her platform:

    Roseanne Barr: Behead bankers who don't give up wealth | The Raw Story

    A LOT of votes.
