Challenge: POTUS Billy Mays

I will not believe anyone who shows a Republican carrying those three states in the 2000s or 2010s. Those are all solid blue states. There's as much chance of Mays carrying NJ or WV as there is a chance of Nancy Pelosi carrying Alabama.

Solid blue state? *laughs* Who have you been paying attention to, the MSM? Pennsylvania is a sea of red with two little blue dots.

If he played up his PA roots well enough, Pennsylvanians would come out in droves to vote for him.

Billy Mays lived in Florida since 1999 so that would be his home state.

2002 - Billy Mays runs for mayor on a platform of tax reform and also in opposition to the nude beach industry in the area.

2006 - Mays defeats Gus Bilirakis in the primary for Florida's 9th Congressional District. He could not have won without the support of the district's large population of retired peoples.

2010 - Billy Mays defeats Gov. Charlie Crist in a surge of Tea Party fever for Republican nomination for Senate, and easily beats Rep. Kendrick Meek who was hurt by such a challenging primary.

2014 - Fellow Republicans elect Mays to Minority Whip, which proves to be a natural position for the former pitchman.

2016 - Gov. Mike Pence wins the Republican Presidential Primary. He chooses Mays as his VP choice. Pence-Mays defeats Richardson-Nixon 299-239.

2017 - Only several months in office, Gov. Pence is assassinated by a mentally unstable Iraqi War veteran. Mays is sworn in as the 46th POTUS.
 
he can run for VP...he just can't be President if the President dies.
Since the JOB of a VP is to succeed the President, if necessary, I believe you have to meet the Presidential requirements. People like SecStates have other jobs, so don't have to meet those requirements. IMO

It could be an ... interesting court case if anyone tried.

Minority Whip...?
 
In the future, most people think that Microsoft or Viacom will take over. Nope, just Oxyclean. We must get the grass stains of man out of the denim fabric of society.

A small request. Not everyone around here is *blesssed* by being from the former 13 Colonies and it´s conquered territories. So how about some links when obscure personalities are involved in a WI? Right from the start. THX to Dathi THorfinnsson. :D
 
"Hi, Billy Mays here for arctic drilling: the fast and easy way to fuel your car... right now! Let me show you!"

*middle speech part*

"Vote right now... and we'll double your offer! That's right, drilling in the Arctic Ocean AND the Gulf of Mexico, absolutely free. Here's how to vote."

*Speaker of the House starts reading the addendums to the bill incredibly quickly*
