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
