Peter King running for president in order to prevent other Republicans from winning the 2016 election. In numerous interviews, Congressman Peter King from New York has confirmed that his main reason for entering the presidential race is to serve as an obstacle to conservatives like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul.
Peter King running for president not because he thinks he can make it to the White House, but because he wants to stop several Republicans from becoming the most powerful leader in the world.
For over two years now, Mr Peter Thomas King, who is the U.S. Representative for New York’s 2nd congressional district, has been conducting interviews where he revealed that he has plans to run for president in 2016.
At the age of 71, without many backers, no committees and a very busy schedule, King is fully aware that he has little chance to replace Barack Obama in the oval office, but he is fine with that.
Peter King’s decision to run for president is based on his hatred for fellow Republicans like Ted Cruz from Texas, Marco Rubio who represents Florida and United States Senator for Kentucky Rand Paul.
The Catholic father of two, who is anti-Tea Party, pro-immigration, and strong on national security, explained:
“I am not kidding anyone. My main thing first of all is to take advantage of the opportunity with my name being mentioned to get out and speak about issues I care about, and secondly to make sure that the Rand Paul and Ted Cruz types don’t take over the Republican Party.”
Peter King, who has served in the United States House of Representatives since 1993, has no plans to get a staff nor a campaign manager because he is too busy representing New Yorkers and being a member of the Financial Services Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
He has cooked up a clever plan to become the GOP nominee – shine in the debates like Herman Cain and Michelle Bachmann did in 2012 to attract donors and voters during the bloody primary. King, who is eager to go face to face with his very close friend Hillary Clinton, said:
“My ideal situation is to be part of the debate and if I see that there is support building and others drop out, and there is a real opening and people who share my views come forward with funding.”
Peter King does not think Jeb Bush and Chris Christie are great political figures, but he believes that anyone is better than Cruz. Peter King is running for president, not to win, but to make a statement about his political party.
What are your thoughts on his plans?
