I googled this dude because I wanted to read about his catastrophic stab at game development again. Looks like he is quite fond of making an ass of himself on Twitter. This will come to be known as the "Trump Maneuver" in the textbooks of the future.

Schilling in the camp who believes Hillary is unqualified because she's on trial. Meanwhile, homeboy took millions in taxpayer dollars and is somehow totally cool with being in the Senate.

Former Major League pitcher Curt Schilling has vowed to try and unseat Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in 2018. That is, if his wife approves.

“So, I’ve made my decision. I’m going to run,” the outspoken conservative said on WPRO radio Tuesday morning. “But ― but― I haven’t talked to Shonda, my wife. And ultimately it’s going to come down to how her and I feel this would affect our marriage and our kids.”

Schilling has openly discussed running for office as a Republican in recent months. The future Hall of Famer has even hinted that he wants to run for president in 2024.

Warren likely won’t be too worried about the matchup: In September, she led the former Boston Red Sox star 47 percent to 28 percent in a hypothetical race, a poll from UMass Amherst, WBZ TV, and WBZ NewsRadio found.

A spokesperson for Warren declined to comment on Schilling’s Senate plans.

After retiring from baseball, Schilling became an analyst at ESPN, where his political views and penchant for sharing offensive memes on social media constantly landed him in trouble with his employer. ESPN suspended him in August 2015 for sharing a meme that compared Muslims to Nazis.

The network fired Schilling in April after he shared an offensive meme about transgender people ― an apparent reference to the controversy around North Carolina’s anti-transgender bathroom law.

Schilling is also a big supporter of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The former pitcher has repeatedly called for the imprisonment of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and said she “should be buried under a jail somewhere” after she was accused of including classified State Department emails on a private server.

During the appearance, Schilling also refused to apologize for his role in the failure of 38 Studios, a video game company he launched that received a $75 million loan from the state of Rhode Island before collapsing.

This post has been updated to note a Warren spokesperson declined to comment.

Another select quote from the interview.

Schilling also said he’d be willing to debate Warren. “I’m not worried – it doesn’t scare me,” he said. “Listen, I was a part of the team that came back to beat the Indians from being down three games to one – I’ve beaten the real ones before. So I’m not worried about that.”

Scott Brown, one of the most moderate and well respected Republicans in the nation, a man who I actually campaigned for, couldn't beat Elizabeth Warren, one of the most popular senators in the nation.

Why the fuck would anybody vote for you, Curt?

Is this some kind of oblique Pocahontas reference or does he think people in MA are dumb enough to vote for someone just because he was good at baseball?

You may want to invest in a good neck pillow and a comfy couch, Curt. You're gonna be seeing it for a while.

Warren claimed she was part native American. He's trying to be a witty racist. Oxymoron ah hoy.

I'm sure having gone on record less than a week ago making creepy statements about finding his daughter's underage friends attractive, then doubling/tripling down on it, won't hurt his chances at all.

Would love to see him try and get totally eaten alive. Dude has been a complete and utter failure at everything he's done for the last decade or so.

The guy just doesn't know when to quit, does he? It's a great trait when you're on the mound, but not so great when you're responsible for the welfare of others.

I've worked with many people that were displaced after 38 Studios shut down, and they all said nice things about the guy personally - he was personable, cared about his staff, generally a good guy. The problem was that in his position as a leader, he tended to double down and take wild swings instead of being responsible.

I've watched his former employees' support erode for him over time, especially with his latest comments on Trump and Clinton. I think he overestimates his clout in MA these days. And I don't know how he thinks he's going to run a successful campaign after 38 Studios melted down - there is just so much you can criticize him about there.

He's deluded if he thinks he can do this in MA now. He'd have better chances at doing this in Arizona, he's burnt every single bridge he has here, even sports talk radio want damn near nothing to do with him anymore.

After I posted the update today, I checked and forgot that I still have my Schilling jersey. Hanging right next to Clemens!

I look forward to him dominating the Massachusetts primary because the Republican base lives in an alternate reality. I then look forward to him getting absolutely annihilated in the general election because the rest of the population aren't fucking morons.

Who is seriously going to give this guy any money after he pissed away so much on 38 Studios?

Oh well, since I'm in Massachusetts, it should be good entertainment at least.

He said gunshow poophole, Stump. Trust me, if such a thing existed Schilling would be on the other end of it.

are private dealers at gun shows legally required to do a background check every time they sell a gun to someone under federal law?
Click to expand...

Yes. If they want to keep their FFL and avoid going to prison.

The loophole part is that you can sell a gun for cash in a private sale if you aren't a dealer. It's popular to set up a little stand with your stuff like a swap meet.

With the things he has been saying lately, I think it's time for his family to intervene. Stop him, don't be Trumped.
