The"Dallas Buyers Club" actor was making all the right kind of noises about entering the fray when interviewed by political commentatorDuring a discussion on McConaughey's center-right political leanings, Hewitt asked if the Hollywood star would consider a run for Texas governor or another political office.
McConaughey, 51, talked at length about a personal political goal to"rebind our social contracts with each other as Americans." The Lincoln luxury car spokesman recalled other Hollywood luminaries who have gone onto successful governor runs, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger in California and Jesse Ventura in Minnesota."What do we say in America is 'successful'? Well, the top two things are money and fame," said McConaughey."On a very base level, Trump has those. So I don’t know why we should be so surprised that he got elected.
McConaughey Yes!!!
McConaughey
McConaughey Hope so
McConaughey All these people saying 'he's got my vote' when they know nothing about his political views. You'll vote him into office simply because he's a popular actor? That's crazy. Don't complain when your county or state turns into a political sh**hole.
McConaughey I would gouge my ear drums if I had to listen to his voice as a governor.
McConaughey He has my vote!!!
McConaughey
McConaughey Well a DONKEY would do a better job than Abbott so why not🤷♀️
McConaughey Oh boy he should not quit his day job.
McConaughey As long as he drives a Lincoln limo
McConaughey Alright, alright, alright!!!
McConaughey Where is all the god them politicians?
McConaughey We need competence not more celebrities.
McConaughey 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮👎👎👎👎👎
McConaughey Nope. No more people with zero govt experience in high office. Very very very bad idea.
McConaughey Anyone but Abbott and lieutenant governor Costello!
McConaughey Governor Matt with his *body* guards.
McConaughey If he wasn’t such a tool, I’d tell him to go for it
McConaughey All Right All Right All Right!!!
McConaughey
McConaughey Got my vote 🗳

McConaughey Here he is talking about maybe running for Governor. Note - Matthew is on the phone. It’s a photo here.
McConaughey As a Texan, he honestly can not be worse that Abbott and Dan Patrick.
McConaughey In his Texas, shirts are optional.
McConaughey We need a change!
McConaughey Intriguing

McConaughey 'I don’t know. I mean, that wouldn’t be up to me. It would be up to the people more than it would me,' McConaughey said, “Look, politics seems to be a broken business to me right now. And when politics redefines its purpose, I could be a hell of a lot more interested.'
McConaughey How about Beto?
McConaughey And an actor and a reality show host have been president. Two actors have been governors. This would be the LEAST surprising outcome.
McConaughey Please, let's rule it the fuck out
McConaughey Hell yes! GreenlightsBook is an amazing read!
McConaughey I can see that.
McConaughey he would be 1000% better than GovAbbott
