Not that guy - he's busy politicing to become the first General of the Army (5 stars) since Omar Bradley attained the rank in 1950, not the Presidency...and as been shown throughout History, success in one arena - especially the military - does not necessarily equate to achieving equal levels of success in other spheres...especially when it comes to politics.

And so it goes...
