36. I don't think he needs to run for Senate or Governor
He's had a long career, is 4-star rank, and as head of NATO (a political position) he had head-of-state status. I think Senate or Governor would be a step down from that, and from there he couldn't do the job if he were campaigning for pres; and if he served a full term, he'd be getting old for president.

I think he should just go for it. (Think of President Eisenhower!) But I agree that he'd need maximum exposure from here on out. I'm hoping his WesPAC will give him that, and provide a platform to launch another run if he wants it.
