It all comes down to this… Matt Damon performs better against Donald Trump than either Clinton or Sanders.
This party has sunk to a new low by letting a candidate who is winning the pledged delegate count, as well as the popular vote by a margin of 3 million votes the nominee.
I have seen some diaries calling for the democratic party leaders to thwart the will of the democratic primary electorate and pick Bernie Sanders instead. However, this could lead to Clinton supporters sitting out the election or voting Trump. But who would sit at home and give up an opportunity of a lifetime to vote for Matt Damon for President!?
Some say Matt Damon is only popular because he has not faced negative advertising or attacks from the Republicans. For instance, imagine an ad that says, “As Jason Bourne, Matt claimed to have forgotten all about his past. But can we really trust him?” Or “In Good Will Hunting, he played a math genius. What if he is actually one? Can we risk a math genius becoming President?”
But the truth of the matter is, he has been vetted for the Oscars several times, and what’s good for the Academy is good enough for America!
Also, there are no real general election polls showing how he would do against Trump. But that is a foregone conclusion. All you would need is a picture of the two side by side. Like this one.
Bernie or Hillary supporters will not be mad if we pick Matt for sure. I don’t think even Hillary or Bernie themselves would be mad. Because come on, who can look at that face and be mad that he would be President of the United States of America!
