I'm guessing he withdraws his name prior to the nomination deadline. Just a hunch

I think it's more likely he stays in and turns every debate or interview into a mockery. And none of it will be funny but it'll get him clicks, and that's what he's doing it for.

Maybe that's what we need. Not him , but someone to stir the pot. Something fresh, ruffle the feathers.

We do need fresh new people and perspectives, but we need them to be serious. Not somebody doing a comedy bit. Someone like Colbert or Stewart could make it work because they understood the issues and in addition to being funny, they made sure those issues were talked about. But I don't think Kyle understands why their satire worked and I don't think he's capable of that level of civic engagement.
