Yep, definitely why if he's the nominee I'm voting for Hillary to stop him.

Can't help but think this clown car is strategically disadvantageous for the GOP. After 2012 I would have thought the RNC would be actively working behind the scenes to keep this one from becoming too much of a bloodbath. It's going to take forever for anyone to break 30% in the polls at this rate. Meanwhile Clinton has to fend off heavyweights like Chafee and O'Malley...

I would love him to be successful, but he won't be.

I am unbelievably surprised. I expected him to be one of the last to decide and let the field settle first. Definitely a dark horse who could hurt Walker most unfortunately if he is modestly successful

A kinder, gentler Scott Walker, which makes him more dangerous.

The world record for most people in an old Volkswagen Beetle is 20, according to this site: http://www.recordholders.org/en/list/carcram.html

At the rate we're going, we will need to upgrade to a clown bus.

Wow. Was not expecting this.

I would be happy to vote for him in the general. He's probably my third choice in the primary, after Kasich and Bush.

Snyder sucks. If not for the wave he would have lost in 2014. I watched one of the governor debates and he was incredibly unimpressive.

Is 2016 the year of Midwestern governors? I doubt Snyder is going to win, but he could damage another candidate from a neighboring state...

Isn't he the reason that Michigan is the only blue state without SSM?  I'm pretty sure he's opposed.

He defends the ban because he's faithful to his oath of office. He won't say if he supports it personally.

I think he halted the appeal against SSM actually.

He halted the appeal on recognizing the 300 or so marriages that were done during the 8 or so hours where SSM was briefly legalized due to judicial crap. He still supports the appeal on the actual ban itself.

The RNC should embrace the clown car and switch to some sort of tournament bracket for the debates.
