Aw, man. I was hoping this would be a Neighbors-level vehicle for Efron.

The issue, of course, is how much the Republican Party had changed after 9/11.

"Sprinkles crack on them."

Seriously.

He also is the only person in the past 20 years to actually put his money where his mouth is with regards to both campaign finance reform and comprehensive immigration reform.

There's an American Gods TV Show…why not Swampy?

When are we getting our coverage of Jerrod's new special, dammit?!

The only political agenda he's on record expressing is "I hope whoever is in charge does well, regardless of their party, because we all live in the same damn country."

He is, according to everyone who's ever worked with him, and absolutely incredible person!

FUCK. That's absolutely awful.

Yup.

Oh, he's definitely a bit of a douche (although Maines can also be a massive asshole, so I find it hard to blame him for the Dixie Chicks blow-up).

Yeah, that's why I'm always non-plussed when he's held up as a right wing fanatic. He wrote one song (with a speaker who wasn't him) channelling the anger of 9/11…and otherwise he doesn't seem to give a shit about politics, other than his equal opportunity patriotism.

(Even as, again, there's no way in hell I'd have played for Trump)

Totally fair.

And why wouldn't he, haha?

Yeah, pretty much. And I don't have any problem with that at all.

Well, that is the line between Rubio and Cruz, meaning it pretty clearly wasn't a distinction if they supported both.

His justification was "If either the country or the troops ask me to play, I'll always say yes." Dude played for both Bush and Obama.

Eh. Not for the last few years. Recently it's more that Sam Hunt/Thomas Rhett metro-crap that doesn't even have a guitar.
