Snyder Aims to Raise Profile Ahead of 2016

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) is taking his economic success story on a national tour, Politico reports.

“Although officially the trips are aimed at promoting the local economy, they will also help boost Snyder’s national profile at a time when the emerging 2016 GOP field is anything but settled. And while Snyder’s uneasiness talking about social issues means he will have a tough time winning the party’s nod — and he’s not taking active steps toward a candidacy — his economic background and success governing a blue state could make him an attractive running mate.”
