George Pataki just announced his candidacy for POTUS

This should make one of the denizens of this board very happy since he has been predicting he would be the GOP nominee for the past four years.

IMO, they will relie on their convention and will use him to dump the teabaggers and the religious right. They have outlived there sell by date.

He will go with support same sex marriage, pro-choice, climate change and infrastructure jobs but... he will all out to privatize everything.

Most GOPer that I talk to think Hillary will win but they don't care since they will still control Congress and enough states to hold a constitutional convention in 2020 that will last at least 2yrs.
