Hillary Clinton is "evil," Gary Johnson is always "high" and it's game on against Sen. Elizabeth Warren, according to former baseball star Curt Schilling.

The six-time all-star Major League pitcher told Fox News' Neil Cavuto Friday that he's "serious" about mounting a 2018 challenge to unseat Warren in Massachusetts, while deriding Johnson and Clinton's current presidential bids.

“I don’t understand how Hillary’s an option, much less the candidate. I don’t understand how she’s not in jail," he said referencing a common refrain among supporters of Donald Trump, who the former athlete publicly backed in May.

“She’s done the opposite of nothing, she’s hurt in every possible way she can and I think she’s the epitome of just a very bad, bad, evil human being," he added.

Schilling, who earlier this year was fired as an ESPN commentator for a controversial anti-LGBT tweet, has been an outspoken critic of Clinton and Warren, feeding speculation that he may challenge the latter in the next round of midterm elections in 2018.

“Oh, I’m serious about it," Schilling said when asked about his congressional aspirations. "If I’m not electable, then I won’t get elected but I believe being a senator, being a governor, being in public office is about being a leader."

Ugh Curt just shut the fuck up and go the fuck away until someone talks about your damn sock again.

 

[Nokterian]

Please stop, please stop curt..what embarrassing every single time i see something from him.

 

[liquidtmd]

And this guy would take on people like the Wells Fargo CEO in the same manner Warren did...bwuhaha no.

 

[Frozenprince]

You were a great pitcher, you literally inspired me to pitch. Please. Just stop talking about things that aren't pitching, and even then, don't talk about it on TV.

 

[3N16MA]

Shut up you idiot. No one cares about your stupid ass opinions or your fucking ketchup stained sock.

 

[jiggle]

will he pay for it with his personal fortune

 

[Fat4all]

I hear Linda McMahon is gonna win a senate seat as well

 

[B-Dubs]

Oh wait, he's serious? Let me laugh even harder.

 

[entremet]

Lol Red Sox fans. This is your God lmao

 

[Finaika]

Finish the Kingdoms of Amalur MMO first pls.

 

[FelixOrion]

Go back to making bankrupt video game companies, dude.

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

His campaign will have a lot of good ideas but go on for too long and never properly capitalize on them.

Spoiler

Actual opinion: he's human garbage and should fuck right the fuck off.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

This guy is a fucking douche bag piece of shit. And that is the end of that.

 

[TyrantII]

This is the welfare queen that single handedly bankrupted the state of Rhode Island.

Go fuck yourself Curt.

 

[SuperBanana]

The man that took millions of tax payer dollars to form a company which he then immediately ran into the ground and on top of that didn't even tell his employees(some with babies on the way) that their healthcare was cut off until the doctors started turning them away. He's a total piece of shit.

I'm so glad that my childhood hero, J.K.Rowling, isn't a racist idiot. She's smart and outspoken.

Damn.

 

[fauxtrot]

What a fucking tool. Please let there be debates so the nation can watch Warren completely dismantle this rich privileged piece of trash.

 

[joebruin]

Man. This guy keeps getting worse and worse.

 

[Zoggy]

Harry Potter was formulaic doe

 

[Aselith]

He was serious about making an MMO too

 

[acheron_xl]

Better turn out in the 2018 midterms, people.

 

[exmachina64]

As someone who didn't know of him before the Rhode Island fiasco, it's been tragic watching this train wreck of a man destroy his life.

Reminder : shilling is a despicable human being:

[Kurtofan]

amalur sequel a bit too real

 

[Marvie_3]

Please let this happen

 

[Zoggy]

Kingdoms of Amalur was an ok game. Ok for most I guess. I liked it a lot though. Action RPGs where you mash buttons and get loot? Bruh plz.

But he had nothing to do with it besides getting some of the money to fund it and then screw over everyone who worked on it when the money ran out.

Wasn't he crying some time ago about how he had no money that he had to put some of his stuff on eBay?

Now he has the money and security to run for senate? Lol



So still fuck this guy


Edit: baseballs dumb and so are the Red Sox

 

[Monocle]

What a dipshit.

 

[Matty77]

What an idiot. He doesn't seem to realize the disconnect between what MA residents want in a ball player, and what they want in a politician. He already put out feelers to run against Scott brown years back hoping people would vote based on his sports and the results came back and he never even started because he is everything that voters in this state are against.

 

[Sanjuro]

Good luck, Curt!

 

[SteveO409]

Prove the haters wrong Curt. Rooting for the underdog

 

[Palette Swap]

She’s done the opposite of nothing, she’s hurt in every possible way she can and I think she’s the epitome of just a very bad, bad, evil human being,

That's rich coming from this incompetent bankrupting asshole.
Go the fuck away.

 

[Felix Lighter]

If Curt Schilling wanted to run for office, he should have done it while his local baseball hero status was still strong, hadn't driven an MMO studio into the ground using government money and his shitty politics weren't made apparent after years of his dumb ass comments. Now he's a joke.

 

[RoninChaos]

I don't understand how Kurt isn't in jail

 

[Beartruck]

Curt: "I haven't taken enough L's recently. I'll go against the most popular senator in the country."

 

[Deku Tree]

Is Shilling better at politics than he is at making video games or being a TV commentator?

 

[Sanjuro]

Is Shilling better at politics than he is at making video games or being a TV commentator?

Based on recent events, he might be best qualified for the job.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Haha, good luck. She is popular, and is this the guy that tanked that game company and was sued by the state? Sad.

 

[Apt101]

Yea whatever good luck. Warren is beloved by the people. And isn't he in serious debt? Who would give this man enough money to run at this point?

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

It's nice to want things.

Schilling has burnt through all his bloody sock cache.

 

[Ryuukan]

Yea whatever good luck. Warren is beloved by the people. And isn't he in serious debt? Who would give this man enough money to run at this point?

It's working for trump

 

[Apt101]

It's working for trump

I thought Trump was on top these days. Nowhere near where he boasts (or else he'd release his tax history), but certainly not broke.

 

[Silent Chief]

The evil of not understanding IT has never been better stated.

He's a Republican with a Name. That's enough these days - especially in a midterm.

 

[MartyStu]

Usually true, but Warren is loved and makes herself aggressively known as a champion for the cause. No scandals and few fuck ups.

 

[gogosox82]

He does realize he would be running in Massachusetts one of the most liberals states in the country against a very popular senator right? Nah, he probably doesn't know that. Let him run and get crushed. This guy loves to take L's for some reason.

 

[Matty77]

He's a Republican with a Name. That's enough these days - especially in a midterm.

Not in Massachusetts it's not. Even while playing ball local opinon was he was a great player but needs to keep his mouth shut. Then instead of running his company in his (transplanted) state with his own money he took jobs to RI plus taxpayer money and blew it.

Like I said in my previous post Warren beat Brown and everyone knew Brown was going to lose. He spent money on advisers and polls and even with Brown set to lose he could not get enough support to replace Brown on the ballot and his running for politics talk fizzled out.

We sent Kennedy back year after year and Warren is about as popular so it's not like anyone here wants her replaced.

It's a pipe dream from a loudmouth who cannot stand when he's not in the spotlight.

 

[acheron_xl]

I'm not saying that Schilling will give Warren a serious test (though, again, that midterm electorate.) I'm just trying to dispel the notion that the idea of his campaign is any way farcical, and that he can't be the GOP candidate in that race.

 

[Kusagari]

I can definitely see him winning the primary, but even in a midterm he's going to get blown the fuck out by Warren.
