As a former governor of Virginia, he almost has to. But his campaign has had less traction or support than any other this cycle.

In fact, for whatever reason, it would be hard to exaggerate how little interest there has been in his candidacy.

Money and family name? You do know those are the prerequisites for the position, right?

What are you talking about?

Mrs. Bill Clinton is the leader among the Democrats running for president. She would not even be a candidate if it were not for her family name. And if she was, she certainly would not be leading anything.

He ****ed up by not having a reality TV show. He would have lost to Kim Kardashian had she'd been in the race.

Hard to gain traction when you have been out of office for 14 years... Add to the mix that the last time he ran for office he lost 65-34 and doing so to the guy that followed his tenure in his previous office.
