Too damn soon.

I'm sick of the constant campaign mode for the throne anymore.

Besides, running as true Conservative in the Republican Party is a dead-end and a waste of time considering the rules changes they made that pretty much give the hand-picking of national candidates to the RNC and the Establishment.

It would have been Mayor McCheese, but he was assassinated on Family Guy.

Thor had his 15 minutes during late spring, 2016, when he said something some people interpreted as an assassination threat on Glenn Beck's program.....

He is a danger to America and I got to ask you a question and this is serious and this could ring down incredible heat on me because I’m about to suggest something very bad. It is a hypothetical I am going to ask as a thriller writer.

With the feckless, spineless Congress we have, who will stand in the way of Donald Trump overstepping his constitutional authority as President? If Congress won’t remove him from office, what patriot will step up and do that if, if, he oversteps his mandate as president, his constitutional-granted authority, I should say, as president.

I don't know the guy but I think the sooner the better.  Keep Trump in line.  Have we seen any progress on illegal immigration?  Then he takes on his good pro illegal immigration, pro gun control buddy Giuliani onto his legal team.

Fine with me if he runs, I know who he is, novelist. I've read 2 or 3 of his books, a bit in the Tom Clancy mode.

Still don't know who he is.

Apparently 'very famous' was a bit of a reach.  I never heard of him either.
