Former Phillies and Arizona and Boston Red Sox pitcher, famous for having some pretty terrible politics when it comes to the LGBT community, says he wants to run for president in 2024. Schilling posted a Washington Post story yesterday to his Facebook page.
In the comment thread, in response to someone saying that they wished the former 216 game winner and guy who should probably not get elected to the Hall of Fame would run for president, Schilling said he would run for president someday.
He followed that up with his 8-year plan:
state office first, white house in 8 years. :)
But never you fear, Schilling might run sooner!
or 4 if by some amazing illegal event this country elects another clinton
Ha. It’s funny because if a woman were elected to the office of president of the United States, then something totally illegal would have had to happen, right? I mean … she’s a girl! Jesus! Listen, Curt Schilling has all of the hallmarks of a successful Republican candidate for office. He’s made inflammatory remarks as to the “justice” that should be served to Hillary Clinton.
The host asked if Schilling thinks Hillary Clinton will go to prison. “I hope she does,” said Schilling. “If I’m gonna believe, and I don’t have any reason not to believe, that she gave classified information on hundreds if not thousands of emails on a public server after what happened to General Petraeus, she should buried under a jail somewhere.”
He also ran up a cool $100 million plus in debt and bankrupted his video game company. Face recognition for some form of celebrity plus wildly paranoid and uninformed angry political beliefs, plus egomania, plus failed person in business and life equals Republican candidate for president, Curt Schilling. At least Curt Schilling was an excellent pitcher in his day, which is more than I can say for Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.
