(1,033 posts)Like his Super PAC, he's trying to point out the absurdities of the American political process through his character. It should be fun to watch, and no doubt he'll get a lot of press for this.

(1,033 posts)I'm guessing he'll run as a Republican, considering he's got 5% in South Carolina and the Democratic primaries are obviously less newsworthy, I guess, right now.
