Hey, a kid can dream, can’t he?

He's definitely floating balloons. Testing the waters to see what comes his way. He'd attract a ton of dark money.

He has a role model that showed him the way.

FWIW:

In 2016, 11 Repubs failed to get the party's nomination
In 2012, 3 Repubs failed to get the party's nomination
In 2008, 7 Repubs failed to get the party's nomination


Other "high profile" individuals have tossed their hats into the ring without getting a major party nod:
- Pat Buchanan ran once
- Ross Perot ran twice
- Ron Paul ran once
- Ralph Nader ran 4 times
- Benjamin (Dr.) Spock ran once
- George Wallace ran once
- Strom Thurmond ran once

Sound familiar?

“… Orbán's curtailing of press freedom, erosion of judicial independence and undermining of multiparty democracy, many political scientists and watchdogs consider Hungary to have experienced democratic backsliding during Orbán's tenure.”
