Following the announcement of his possible 2016 race with a video from Rolling Stone Magazine, we look forward to seeing Waka Flocka Flame take the reins and go for the White House once more. He may not gain the respect of old right-winged constituents but he is sure to steal the hearts of many a young voter come the fateful November.

His debut album may be called College Dropout, but Kanye has no fear. After recently voicing hopes to join the 2020 race, Mr. West stresses that he will focus on widespread topics such as humanity and the truth. President Obama described the potential candidate’s efforts as “strange,” but nonetheless, the rapper’s political push remains a possibility.

Tim McGraw

Though he totes a classic cowboy hat and stride, the country singer is known to be a supporter of the Obama administration. According to Today, McGraw was offered a senatorial position in Tennessee, but he had to pass because of family matters. However, 2020 may offer a re-entry into the world of politics for the southern songwriter.

The Rock

Rivaling fellow WWE star Jesse Ventura, the Rock claims various wrestling accolades such as a five time Tag Team Champion and eight time WWE World Champion. Though he doesn’t have any gubernatorial experience, the Rock has appeared as “The Rock Obama” on SNL, so here’s to hoping some of the political experience rubbed off. This may be the first election to end in a knockout.

Touting widespread acclaim as a Hollywood star, some wonder if he will prevail as a modern democratic Reagan.
