My question is, why is Rick even putting forth the effort? Does he seriously think he has a chance?
That is a good question...wonder who is funding him?

No, he’s a cynical A-hole, stealing from old ladies. He raises money from his niche support base. Ten he gets to pay himself the salary of the office to which he aspires from those donations. He can hire wife and kids.
So essentially, he is robbing well meaning people.
Its a pure scam, nothing more.

Rick is a member of the elite group that self-identify as “former Presidential candidates.”
It is a career path, which leads to a nice six-figure income and lifestyle, of TV appearances, book, speaking engagements, etc.
The same people that have or would vote for him, for his theocratic political philosophy, will effectively support him indefinitely.
Huckabee will be going back to it, also. So in 2020 do Santorum, Huck, Fiorina, Carson, Perry, Walker, Cain, Gingrich, Bush, Christie, Pataki, Jinhdal, Rand Paul, Lindsey Graham, maybe Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan, and who know who else come out and clog up the GOP process?
Will it start in 2018? Will there get to be 20 candidates?
