Calling Card: Government shutdowns.
Factions: CL (economy); Reactionary (everything else)
Prospects: His anger, sarcasm, and disdain for the Senate leadership play well with the base. His blatant opportunism and previous ostentatious opposition to Trump–not so much. Hardly anyone likes or trusts the guy. Why would they? He clearly would say or do anything to be president.
Prediction: Pretender. His chances died in 2016. Look for him to do plenty of showboating between now and 2024, however.
