Charlie Sheen — “Actor, Producer, #Winner” — tweeted late on Friday afternoon to inform Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and, in fact, all of America that he believes a Sheen-Cruz presidential ticket could defeat Donald Trump in 2020.

Sheen’s tweet about a Sheen-Cruz ticket — which would be America’s first to feature two candidates of Hispanic heritage — has drawn quite a bit of attention.
Ted Cruz himself responded:
Glad to see @charliesheen embracing conservative principles, but Americans just rejected another political dynasty. https://t.co/uvGN566yhm pic.twitter.com/Yxq0Mddwgn

Responses from a smattering of Twitter users has been pretty funny. For example:
@charliesheen @tedcruz if you run as Rick Vaughn you have my vote

Some people love the idea of Sheen and Cruz taking Trump down.

Other Twitter users are more skeptical of a Sheen-Cruz presidential run.
@charliesheen @tedcruz I’d prefer Emilio run.

And, finally, some Twitter users — most of them, really — are showing why Twitter is generally a bizarre and crazy cesspool of venom that is best avoided at all costs.

On Thursday, Sheen asked God to intervene directly in U.S. political affairs by killing Trump.
Dear God;
Trump next, please!
Trump next, please!
Trump next, please!
Trump next, please!
Trump next, please!
Trump next, please!— Charlie Sheen (@charliesheen) December 29, 2016
Sheen’s Thursday tweet was notably crass in light of the spate of celebrity deaths which has befallen the end of 2016.
