He should have ran for President in 1972 with his current persona. He would have made a far more entertaining nominee than McGovern.

Would probably have done a little better as well.

He was actually seriously considered by McGovern to be his VP IIRC. (And finished Third in the VP nomination vote, as it was back then.)

Because.... Good lord just because.

You don't vote for someone just because you like what they say... he wouldn't have a hope in hell unless it was 1924 or 1972.
1924!? Don't you mean 1892?

I thought he meant 1932..

I have to agree with this though...

Even his supporters agree he is crazy.  Not eccentric crazy, but mentally ill crazy.

That's why he's awesome.
