He's also the CEO and co-founder of Generational Group, an investment banking firm that specializes in mergers and acquisitions.Īre you picking up on a theme here, people? We have a very crowded field of super-rich candidates.
So it's not like he hasn't been mulling.īinkley bills himself as a pastor and - wait for the shock - super fiscal conservative. Although he claims he started thinking about running for president around eight years ago. Ryan Binkley of Texas is out meeting and greeting in Iowa, and he's never done anything remotely like this before.
You don't need any previous government experience in your bio to be on the campaign trail. Which must have been a little embarrassing for someone who made his fortune building a firm that promises to help your company meet business quality standards. Ever heard of Perry Johnson? He ran for governor of Michigan last year but got thrown off the Republican primary ballot for invalid petition signatures. Still, he's invested at least $10 million in the race so far and it's gotten. Vivek Ramaswamy doesn't have that problem since he's reportedly worth only $600 million or so (biopharmaceuticals). Warning: Do not call Burgum a billionaire. His great claim to fame is having built a software company that he sold for more than $1 billion. Rather than dodging the whole Donald Trump matter whenever possible, Christie stresses that he's running to save the country from a former close colleague who he now calls a "lonely, self-consumed, self-serving mirror hog." We're also expecting some energy from the newly announced candidate Chris Christie. There's very little chance Haley's campaign is going anywhere, but I think we can all agree she could really perk things up. There are currently somewhere between 12 and 400 Republicans eyeing the White House.Īll the major names are men except Nikki Haley, who's arguing that "it's time to put a badass woman in the White House." Well, yeah.
Maybe I'll just try making a list of Republican candidates for president.īack when Donald Trump announced it all seemed sorta life-as-usual, but now the race is definitely on. Whenever I want to put myself to sleep at night, I run through the names of all the former vice presidents.
