Mike Smith!!

http://mikesmith2016.org/issues.html

He just popped up in my FB feed.  He seems like some random guy who just decided to run for president.

I mean if/when Trump goes down in flames Sasse will have positioned himself decently for one of the 2020s cycles, and he has the potential to be a better candidate (and person) than the hard right would probably have garnered for those cycles absent Trump, so if I were a #NeverTrump 'movement conservative' I'd be looking forward to that.

As it is, I'm actually looking forward to the hard right losing the general with a Sasse nomination, so as to dispel with this fiction that the Republicans will replicate their eighties landslides If Only They Nominate A True Conservative in a way that won't require me to look at Mike Lee or somebody all over the news for a year.

Nothing's wrong with his family, it's just perfectly designed to deflect charges of racism

LOL, look at his ad.

If he keeps this up, he may be able to make inroads among former Jim Gilmore supporters!

By the way, it looks like he's from Colorado. Since we all know that Hillary and Trump are going to remove themselves from the ballot in Colorado to prevent riots, he could put a strong showing there. But since every Colorado resident is a hippie stoner libertarian, Gary Johnson will be tough to overcome.

He seems to have two homes- one in Colorado and one in Tennessee.  Unfortunately, an article from a Knoxville news station seems to suggest that he's a Vol fan.

The #NeverTrump candidate you're looking for is Hillary Clinton.

Rich white #TrueConservative with black kids, blonde wife, and veteran status? Shouldn't he be running in House of Cards?

On the other hand, I bet this guy is one of those conservative veteran candidates with Tea Party support who likes to brag about all the Muslims he killed like that dick Chris Kyle. Probably be a good recruit for State House if he lives in a rural district.

0/10, would not vote for (Go Memphis Tigers!)

Nah, if he is conservative at all, he might be worth a protest vote, but I'm probably voting Libertarian at this point.

Can't find any indicator to say he is!
There are seniors at my high school that look older than this guy....

I was going to say. He looks the same age as people we are assuming are his adopted sons.

If he actually said something negative about Trump, I would assume this was some sort of satire about anti-Trumpers being cucks.

I have been able to confirm that Mike Smith is 37 years old.

You mean they can't find some random conservative backbencher or former governor to take the plunge, and then move on to a comfortable career in lobbying after November? Tom Ridge is NeverTrump, and it's not like he has anything better to do. Wow, the Establishment has sunk farther than I thought.

It is pretty funny that they may have to settle for "Some Random Guy 2016!"

Even his name couldn't possibly be more generic, unless it was literally John Doe.
