He wouldn't run for public office, because that is the affairs of men, not God.
Correct. He would not even register to vote.
1 John 2:15-17 (KJV) 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
Jesus of the Gospels was an outspoken, nonviolent leftist who tried to reform his authoritarian conservative, dogmatic church but also refused to shut up with his call for justice for the down-trodden — even when his superiors threatened him with serious consequences if he didn’t.
The economic model of Jesus’s early church was socialist, where the resources of the group were shared with the widow and orphans and others who didn’t have enough. He would have stood, like the prophet he was, in solidarity with pacifists, socialists, antiwar activists and feminists and surely would have marched in nonviolent antiwar rallies.
If Jesus was running for president as an independent 3rd party, what would his positions be?
Obviously it would be to try and get most third party types over their addiction to recreational drugs and other vices, and I'm sure after he would advise, "Sin No More!".
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Jesus turn water into wine?

It's difficult to say, given that Jesus flip-flops so much.
First he would say that to gain Eternal Life, you have follow all of the Commandments.
Then he'll say that in addition to that, you have to sell everything you have and give the money to the poor. Later, he will change his position and say that in order to have Eternal Life, you have to become "like the wind." When pressured, he will flip on that and say that you have to become "like a child." Then he will flop and say that you have to be "born again." Then he will change his mind again and instead of selling everything you own and giving your money to the poor, he'll say that you just have to give away everything you own to the poor. And then I guess because you don't even have a pot to pee in, he says you have eat his flesh and drink his blood. Then he says that you must be as righteous as a pharisee and comply with all 613 laws of the mitzvah.
Then he'll talk in a bunch of jibber-jabber code using "parables" then condescendingly smirk at everyone who can't figure out the meaning of the "parables" because they don't really have any meaning at all.
Actually, he sounds a lot like The Boy King.
