With our wild, wacky 2016 presidential race, it's reassuring that we have the sage statesman Alec Baldwin to offer direction on which of the growing pack of contenders has the best shot at one day leading our nation.
And here's some tough news for fans of the obnoxious, attention-hogging candidate from NYC with the horrendous hair: Baldwin told the New York Daily News that he doesn't see Donald Trump as a likely general election candidate.
But he likes Kanye West's chances in 2020.
Baldwin, who also does some acting in TV and movies when he's not swatting away rumors that he, too, has political aspirations, was at the 15th Annual Opening Night celebration of the U.S. Open. He told the Daily News' Confidenti@l column that politics, like tennis, is a game where anything is possible.

While Baldwin expects that four or five of the current GOP contenders will probably drop out, he doubts voters will offer their support to Trump, who is currently leading in the polls.
"I think he's only gonna' go down and someone else is only gonna go up," Baldwin said. "And something tells me that in direct relationship to Trump's comments about Hispanic Americans that Rubio might be the beneficiary from it."
While Baldwin is not enthusiastic about Trump as a presidential candidate, he's intrigued by West's announcement at the MTV VMA's Sunday that he would seek the presidency in 2020.
"Brilliant!" the "30 Rock" star said of the entertainer and husband of reality star Kim Kardashian.
