Question: When Did Running For The Republican Party's Presidential Nomination, Amount To... [View all]
A job app for Faux News... or a "Think" Tank... or a Lobbying gig ???
In 2000... I wondered why Orrin Hatch was in there... he had no chance...
And the only thing I could come up with... was that he was there as a backstop to GW... sort of a Minder... like in North Korea.
In case GW said something dumb, and needed to be bailed out.
I don't know if he made any money in that adventure, yet...
In 2012... there were 12 Candidates...
In 2016... there may be many more...
In BOTH cases, anyone worth their salt in political polling and consulting would have waved them off.
So what gives ???
