Rick Snyder is Likely Running for President in 2016
redmillenial ^ | April 30th 2015

Who in the world is Rick Snyder? I am sure most of you are asking yourselves this very question. Let me start out by making it very, very simple: Rick Snyder is the two-term governor of Michigan. He has the business background of Carly Fiorina, the policy wonkiness of Bobby Jindal, the mild-mannerism of Ben Carson, and the Midwestern appeal of Scott Walker.

“I met with Rick Snyder yesterday. He’s running,” former U.S. Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN) stated at the Jewish Republican Committee’s meeting in Las Vegas last Saturday.

Governor Rick Snyder has not formerly announced his candidacy for president, launched an exploratory committee, or even formed a PAC for the 2016 election.

“The governor has indicated that he’s watching the presidential race closely,” Snyder’s communications director Jarrod Agen told the National Review. “[He is] hoping a common-sense problem solver emerges, but he has not made any decisions about entering the field at this time.”

No.

Rick Snyder is good at some things but presidentin isn’t one of them. Trying to launch off the back of an attempt at a massive tax increase means he would be unlikely to win here in Michigan.

My questions are:

Is there a stage large enough to hold the 20+ GOP candidates who are vying for the presidency?

How much time will they have to answer any substantive questiona? A minute? 20 Seconds?

It’s ridiculous.

Michigan’s First Nerd is fine for Michigan, but not as POTUS.

RINO, go RINO GO, the more competing for Jeb’s constituency, the better. I hope that Lindsay Graham jumps in as well, and frankly IMO Rubio overlaps with the GOP-e constituency as well.

Kasich would be in the same crowd as well..

Too bad it’s not Zack Snyder, if he were POTUS, he would make some crazy movies to encourage more patriotism, which I guess is why he’s not a candidate.

/sarcasm off

Is this a fake article? Norm Coleman hasn’t been a senator in more than 6 years.

Not up for a Coleman/Santorum losers special ticket?

I don't want to see any republican running, whose only reason for having an empty calendar is they lost the last election they ran in.

If you call raising the state sales tax from 6 to 7% Conservative then I guess he is. NOT.

No.

He’s a business manager and that’s where he needs to return. The best job for him in DC would be labor secretary.

Our state Attorney General would be a great constitutionalist US attorney general though.

He’s what most would call a moderate. Probably a good manager but has no charisma. A vast improvement over his predecessor, but I don’t see how he can attract a national audience let alone the money he would need to wage a campaign.

He has the business background of Carly Fiorina...

If that's the case, he'll do exactly what Carly's gonna do: LOSE.
