It's 14 million now.
He's thinking a run in 2020 if Hillary loses this one, and if four years of Democrat Party Media attacks make Trump a one-term president.
Enter Evan Bay to save the day. 'Cept it's not going to be quite that easy for him.

He voted for the bill before he was (sort of) against it.
Today much of the mainstream media jumped for joy when announcing that the Democrat Senate nominee in Indiana, Baron Hill, would step aside in favor of former Senator Evan Bayh to once again run for his old seat. Missing in all the happiness was any mention that Bayh, whose Senate career was rather undistinguished except for being the crucial 60th vote that made Obamacare possible, subsequently voiced extreme dissatisfaction with that same bill. Perhaps Bayh and the MSM hope that Bayh's radically shifting attitude would be sent down the memory hole but let us review some of the former senator's comments on this topic once he thought he no longer had to face the voters. Perhaps the most bizarre of the reasons he gave for his Obamacare vote which he later came close to recanting was so as not to see smug Republican faces as related in the New York Times:

We Hoosiers haven’t. He will lose like his master Killary.
I guess K Street had no need Mr Personality.
Having Bayh run again is akin to having Arlen Specter deciding to come back. RINO’s don’t know they are worthless and we don’t want them back.
Yeah but Bayh is dangerous though. He can be hyped as a centrist Democrat though.
What makes Bayh the “60th vote”? Couldn’t any Democrat be described as the 60th vote? Or was he the last holdout, hoping that some Maine RINO would spare him?
All the ones who voted for Obamacare were the 60th vote. Any one of them could have stopped it, including Bayh who subsequently bitched about Obamacare.
I really hate articles like this that don’t tell you who the opponent will be. Ballotpedia reveals all.
Ballotpedia currently rates Indiana’s U.S. Senate race as safely Republican. Incumbent Dan Coats (R) did not seek re-election in 2016, leaving the seat open. Todd Young (R) will face Evan Bayh (D) in the general election on November 8, 2016
Bayh is experienced former Gov. Young a talented rookie?
Now Bayh is the 60th vote ?
First it was Franken
then Feingold
then Landrieu
then Brown
then Spector (Rat bastard)
then Nelson
cripes - do\say anything to get re-elected
Brown was elected to stop Obamacare and the Democrats forced the vote through before he could be seated and block it with a filibuster.
“Evan Bayh is a lobbyist who backed the Obama agenda 96 percent of the time as he left the Senate in 2010...”
Don Coats ....says “Bayh wants to continue the failed Obama-Clinton policies of the past eight years.”
and...Coats also said that “...the one thing Democrats don’t realize and haven’t thought about is how many young people have never cast a ballot with Evan Bayh on it,”

I fr mailed my above to a freeper here who resides in Indiana and asked (yesterday) who she thinks will win; Young or Bayh
The reply came back: Young.

Try his appointment of former Turkey Run State Park Superintendant Pat Ralston to head the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, back when Evan was first Indiana's governor.
Evan and Pat know where the body is buried. It's in Iowa.
It was expected that Coats' Chief of Staff and former Republican Indiana Party Chairman Eric Holcomb, would run for Coats seat. With the absence of Mike Pence now running as Trump's VP choice, Holcomb's going for the governor's seat instead.
You might say VERY talented. He's an Annapolis graduate who chose to be commissioned as a Marine, served as a rifle platoon leader, then went on to qualify as an Intelligence Officer, then commanded a UAV [Marine for drones] Squadron at Cherry Point, working counter-narcotics activities in the Caribbean, Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection, and wound up supervising Chicago-area recruiting- think of him as a Marine community organizer.
He wound up his Marine duty in 2000 as a captain and went on to further his education, including a stint at Leipzig in the former East Germany.
I have been in and around the newspaper biz since mid-1970. It is my considered opinion that he's one of the good guys.
They couldn't afford to pay to have him vote their way 61 times?
