Curt Schilling, America’s favorite conservative, angry, weird uncle on Facebook is going to run for President.

Curt Schilling certainly is something. What that thing is, I am still unsure. He’s the conservative voice of sports media that has been gradually beaten down by those damn liberals. Though the haters have tried to curtail Schilldog’s unabashed sharing of xenophobic, racist, and homophobic memes on Facebook and Twitter, he just keeps coming back.

Now, he might run for President, no doubt inspired by Donald Trump’s attempt to undo over 200 years of hard work to create Democratic society in America.

Schilling told TMZ Sports that he is serious about first running for Senate and then making a run at the Presidency, maybe as early as 2024.

“We want the anti-establishment person. There will never be a more anti-establishment person than him—unless I eventually run for the White House, which is a possibility…. You know I think I’m gonna run here in Mass in two years, I think I’m gonna run against Elizabeth Warren here in Mass…. It’s something I’m getting more serious about…. If governor [Charlie] Baker ends up running for the White House, which is a possibility, I might run for the governor’s position here. And then, you know what? I would like to give, you know, six, eight years from now, I’d love to give the White House a try.”

These are rich words coming from Schilling. Hopefully he gives politics a more serious “try” than he did the video game business. If he ever does run for President, he would have a hard time carrying the four Electoral College votes from the state of Rhode Island.

Schilling concluded, “I’m the kind of guy who imagined myself pitching in the big leagues, I imagined myself doing things that other people don’t imagine themselves doing. So my whole life has been spent thinking about what I could possibly achieve, not what I couldn’t.”

Who knows how serious this whole charade is. Schilling’s name surfaced in 2008 as a possible candidate to replace Ted Kennedy in the Massachusetts state senate. Curt Schilling matched up against John Kerry would have been an all-time campaign. If this current election cycle has shown us anything, it is that politics can be wildly entertaining if a big enough idiot gets involved in the race. Here’s hoping Schilling-Palin 2024 becomes a reality.
