Don't know what the hell he's thinking but I have a feeling his campaign will go the way of Evan Bayh 2008.
I was thinking more like Thad McCotter 2012.
In any case, serious question: Will any pollsters include him in any Democratic primary polls? Either now, or at any point between now and 2020? Also, what are the odds on him even qualifying for a kiddie table debate in 2019?
The best case scenario for him is that his odd choice to launch a 2020 presidential campaign in 2017 becomes enough of a punchline that he actually gets some media attention out of it. Maybe one of the late night comedy shows will notice this story, and do a joke about him, simply because this is so weird. I guess that might give him enough attention that PPP includes him in a poll?
I was thinking more rocky de la Fuente, or Mark everson
