If you ran for President for your party's nomination, how far do you think you would get and where do you think you would poll?

Not well, and I'm ineligible.

Remember Misty Snow?

Yeah...
Sure, she only underperformed Clinton by 0.1%, but still

I'd win if it weren't for the fact that I'm 21.

I'm a couple decades too young, fairly socially awkward, and out of step with my party, so not too hot

I assume if I ran and were eligible and reasonably well-established within the party, it'd probably look a lot like Scoop Jackson's campaign in 1976, since we occupy similar places both ideologically within the party and geographically.

I'd win with 100% of the vote.

Considering I used to be on the Republican and somewhat conservative side? Probably not far in the Democratic primary, I might do well in the South, but not NorthEast or West coast.

Democratic Party:  VERY badly.  If lucky, I'd made it out of the process with my dignity in tact.

Green Party:  Also badly but I might get a delegate or 2 if I tried hard enough.

Well, I am a 66 year old pot smoking Godless gay man who currently serves on the Zoning Board of a town of about 6,000 people (who granted might ascend to higher office in said town), who eschews telling folks what they want to here, as opposed to what I think is true (which often is precisely what they don't want to hear), who cannot self fund a campaign, and recently switched parties. It should be a piece of cake. Every other perspective candidate will drop out, and I will run and win unopposed, the way George Washington did.

And there you have it!

Anyway, my Misty Snow comparison is probably more compatible with today's environment than the one I'd be eligible in.

Depending on whether or not I'm in a statewide office, I could be a formidable contender. In the running mate thread, xing mentioned this possibility: As a trans lesbian, the fact could energize the progressive crowd, at the cost of uber-socons who wouldn't vote for me (and some of which probably don't even consider me a woman) anyway, and living in battleground North Carolina, I'll bring 15 (well, probably more by the time I run) EVs into the fold. Then again, perhaps I'm being too optimistic.

I don't think I would be a very good President, and that fact would become obvious during the campaign. Unlike Trump, I don't have the political luck/ability to counteract that.

Considering my internet postings, music taste, inability to dress nicely, lack of social skills, and the fact that I'm dumb as shyt, not well.

Uh, I see many people saying they are ineligible who are not immigrants. Stop hijacking our empty quote chain please.
