Let's say McCrory won reelection as governor in 2016 , does anyone think he'll run for the U. S. Senate against Hagan (if she survives next year) or the White House in 2020

In 2008 when many expected him to win the election against Perdue, he was mentioned as a possible candidate down the road. Of course that was 2008 and a lot has happened since then of course.

A lot depends on whether Hagan get reelected. It's doubtful McCrory would challenge an incumbent Republican for a Senate seat.  He might run for the Senate in 2022 if Burr decides to retire after three terms.

I think he is a strongly underrated dark horse for 2016, and I am almost 100% sure that he will run in 2020 if we lose 2016.

I think he could well run for President, but if he's still struggling to keep his house in order in order in 2016, I don't think he'll run then.

As for running for Senate, he 'kinda reminds me of Jindal in that regard; I thunk both see themselves more as executives than legislators.

His approval ratings are currently quite low, and he'll be sixty in 2016.

If Hagan wins reelection, I don't know he eager he would be to run for Senate in 2020 (although there have been a few sixty-somethings elected.) Burr's one year older, so I don't know if he'll be ready to run for that seat when Burr to retire. He may have an opportunity if something happens (IE- If Burr is appointed to the cabinet) but his options are limited.

There are relatively few Governors turned Senators. Part of the reason is that party openings in the Senate don't come up very often, Governors tend to be old enough when they get elected to statewide office and the 6-10 year gap between gubernatorial election and senate election often has the governor's party fall our of favor.

If he can improve his popularity, and find a way to stand out among other Republican officeholders, he may be a plausible presidential contender in 2020. Although he's more likely to just be one of many Republican officeholders.

I don't see Pat McCrory running for higher office any time in the future, as he is not charismatic and is arguably one of the worst state governors in office at the moment. I seriously hope that he will lose re-election to Roy Cooper in 2016.

I agree with Yankee.

He should have won in 2008 if he wanted to have done anything else.  I wonder how he would have been in Perdue's shoes.

If I see him running it will be for Senate but I doubt it.

Maybe as a VP candidate, but he'd get his ass beat by Hagan/whoever runs.

McCrory's hope of winning reelection in 2016 would be tying Cooper to the unpopular Obama White House and Obamacare.

Remember, the Southern Strategy is alive and well 45 years after Nixon took office.
Don't be McCrory uses code words to get the GOPers excited and turning out to vote.
