So if Bill Gates hated the war in Iraq so much and thought that it would be best to help the world from the oval office could he have won?
1) %100 self funded with fronting 2 billion for his campaign.
2) He chooses to enter in January of 2004 due to the Iraq war.
3) He focused on the issues of health care and getting rid of the terrorist threat with smarter technology and better Intel by supporting spending increases on those issues.
Edit: A bit more detail
4) On health care he strongly supported the idea of forcing insurance to take people no matter what there condition is and allowing people to enroll in a Government backed insurance option if they make less than $60,000 a year. Also put's forward a plan to expand medicaid.
5) Other than better funding for technology, he supported more Funding for the CIA to prevent and take down terrorist groups. Also supporting more drone and non-lethal weapons deployment to counter the terrorist threat. He very clearly makes his case against large ground troops deployments to fight this new kind of warfare.
6) Also supports a program to give all vets free health care though private insurance providers to replace the lacking VA program. He names Blue Cross and Blue shield the likely main choice. He claims those who serve should get great care like he can get.
7) Supports a higher personal income tax bracket of %49 for those who make more than $500k but also to raise the standard deduction to $16,000 for single people and $32,000 for married people. Makes the case that the rich need to pay more because they make more and that the working class need a break.
8) Also pushes a 10 year energy plan to move toward a oil independent and cleaner nation.
I added a few things with the goal of cross party appeal. On one hand he is pushing a kind of ACA, on the other he is doing what Bush supporters should love by giving private insurance to vets.
I realize on many of the issues he leans left and there are some issues he is just going to be left on such as the social issues. But there are others I think he might bend a little if he ran.
