Looks like now we can call the GOP 2016 race a freak show. There is a network effect. The more candidates the more chance they might get say a top 3 placement in IA/NH with a vote percentage under 15%. That encourages more freaks.
I was thinking I need to run. I’m 56 years old, semi-retired. VERY conservative. I’ve never been elected to anything, but given just a little bit of press I’m pretty sure I could get 1% of the vote?
