Peter King running for president in order to prevent other Republicans from winning the 2016 election. In numerous interviews, Congressman Peter King from New York has confirmed that his main reason for entering the presidential race is to serve as an obstacle to conservatives like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul.
Peter King running for president not because he thinks he can make it to the White House, but because he wants to stop several Republicans from becoming the most powerful leader in the world.
For over two years now, Mr Peter Thomas King, who is the U.S. Representative for New York’s 2nd congressional district, has been conducting interviews where he revealed that he has plans to run for president in 2016.
At the age of 71, without many backers, no committees and a very busy schedule, King is fully aware that he has little chance to replace Barack Obama in the oval office, but he is fine with that.
Peter King’s decision to run for president is based on his hatred for fellow Republicans like Ted Cruz from Texas, Marco Rubio who represents Florida and United States Senator for Kentucky Rand Paul.
The Catholic father of two, who is anti-Tea Party, pro-immigration, and strong on national security, explained:
“I am not kidding anyone. My main thing first of all is to take advantage of the opportunity with my name being mentioned to get out and speak about issues I care about, and secondly to make sure that the Rand Paul and Ted Cruz types don’t take over the Republican Party.” . Peter King, who has served in the United States House of Representatives since 1993, has no plans to get a staff nor a campaign manager because he is too busy representing New Yorkers and being a member of the Financial Services Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
He has cooked up a clever plan to become the GOP nominee – shine in the debates like Herman Cain and Michelle Bachmann did in 2012 to attract donors and voters during the bloody primary. King, who is eager to go face to face with his very close friend Hillary Clinton, said:
“My ideal situation is to be part of the debate and if I see that there is support building and others drop out, and there is a real opening and people who share my views come forward with funding.”
Peter King does not think Jeb Bush and Chris Christie are great political figures, but he believes that anyone is better than Cruz. Peter King is running for president, not to win, but to make a statement about his political party.
What are your thoughts on his plans?

Good luck with that.
As if any Conservative voters would vote for that drunk Peter King.
PK can’t even stop the laughter.....
It worked for Rick Santorum. We got Mittens, and then Obama. Mission accomplished for these buggers.
John...John Semmens is that you?
Can’t argue with that.
Is this the “conservative” Peter King who
made incandescent light bulbs illegal
because he had invested in mercury bulbs?
I looked, but was unable to find the SARCASM tag. So maybe this is one of those stranger than fiction things that you just can’t make up.
Stupid and un-American.
Not likely considering he has nowhere the same clout.
King is the least of our worries. Mitt just handed his 20pts and money machine over to Walker, and the Kochs want the Walker/Rubio amnesty duo, and Rush and the MenSeekingMen won’t shut up about him. It’s been a week-long assault.
I *really* did not anticipate mittens fast-forwarding us 12 months into the primary season this week, but it is what it is. I don’t want to attack Walker, but I’m enraged he’s been coronated POTUS in one short week. Just today Walker remembered a President needs a foreign policy and is frantically trying to squeeze one out TODAY.
Not a good plan, if you ask me, because Peter King < Cruz or Paul. King thinks he is more influential than most other republicans do. He is not a star, at least not one of today’s top names in the GOP.
KIng used to make good speeches and soundbites during a crisis, but here lately, Mr. King seems more concerned with protecting ‘the purity’ of the republican party, and publicly slandering those republicans who suggest trying other ways to win. This is the same ‘purity’ that has us losing easy elections and social initiatives due to the media running interference for the Dems.
“The Catholic father of two, who is anti-Tea Party, pro-immigration, and strong on national security.....”
Sack of stuff is a liar. You can’t be strong on National Security, and be anti-Tea Party, and pro-immigration. A bit of a clash there.
True. King is a nobody outside his district. I have never heard anyone say anything about him. He is very much unknown other then being liberal.
I hope this is true! This nitwit will help to siphon off some of Jeb’s voters.
Don’t laugh too loud at this guy. These third party candidates are promoted by the Clinton/soros/Obama coalitions. Even if they only some crumbs off the table will be enough to siphon off votes in crucial districts.
I am originally from the Northeast (New Jersey), and I do NOT want to see a Northeasterner on the Republican ticket. It’s RINO Central up there.
Cruz:
1. He is a conservative.
2. He gives the CPUSA (I mean Democrats, I really mean Commies) conniption fits.
3. #2 applies to eGOP as well
4. He is from TEXAS!
FUPK!
