Chumlee from Pawn Stars endorses Ron Paul for president

[davidhperry]

My parents (in their 60's) love Chumlee. They already support Ron Paul, but this is a good endorsement. Hopefully he can get some attention for it. We need to let local media know.

I love chumlee!

I really doubt Chumlee is as dumb in real life as he is portrayed and acts on the show. To some degree he's playing a character, in my opinion. And no, I didn't just now come to this conclusion after seeing his endorsement. He has posted on the 2+2 Forums (largest poker forum on the internet) in the past. I can't remember for the life of me why he showed up there, though.

I agree an endorsement from Rick would be great. He comes off as a very intelligent guy.

Idea: Someone should bring some sort of Ron Paul memorabilia to their shop and try to get on the show with it!

This real or a hack?

I used to watch the show.

Its good because he has followers and cause hes in Vegas.

THis guy is a real life version of WImpy from the Popeye cartoon... Ill take the endorsement anyway.

Hey Mike, ill gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

Chumlee plays an fat idiot on T.V. But let me be clear, this man is actually a comedic genius. If you want to see the real person you can go to Gold & Silver Pawn Shops youtube channel and watch some of the videos he made before the show "Pawn Stars". The fact that he endorses Ron Paul just further solidifies the fact that he is really a smart guy.

It's real. He follows @RepRonPaul on twitter, and he tweeted this on November 22:

#ronpaul

Thanks chum, love the show. But hopefully the media won't go to him on camera. He plays the goof.

whoa, Corey Harrison loves Ron Paul too. Tweet on May 13:

I hate to get political but I'm ecstatic @repronpaul is running for president

Again, I have no idea who that is but from looking at Wikipedia he seems to play a major role on the show.

Why is everyone hating on Chumlee?

I'm more of a Hardcore Pawn guy myself, but still, got to give Chum some respect.

He does have appeal, but its more the class clown type, and it will almost certainly fail to significantly reach a new demographic from those in which we already dominate.

As a side note I love the show and it is (one of) History Channels biggest programs. It would be more significant if he wore RP paraphernalia on the program.

Still awaiting the coveted Giorgio Tsoukalos endorsement...

Don't we get that by default through George Norey?

 

[BigByrd47119]

Double post...sorry.

So sounds like not quite in the same league as a Jim Demint endorsement, but its still slightly good news. That's cool, I will have to check out his show next time it airs.

I'd bet a lot more people in Las Vegas know who Chumlee is than know who Jim DeMint is.

Now, if we can just get Rick and the Old Man on board...

good idea maybe they could sell some RP shirts or something

Chumlee is a pretty loveable character on the show.

 

[nobody's_hero]

He's my favorite one on the show.
