Thesis

EHIQ register read DOMINATES the field — strongest primary-stage register of all 7 candidates scored, both parties. Highest personal-anchoring in the corpus, decisive register. IF Tucker runs, he structurally outclasses everyone on rhetorical register. BUT: ~15% he runs × ~30% he wins primary if he does × ~30% wins general (controversy ceiling) = ~1.4%. Polymarket 2.85% basically aligned with EHIQ. Register is one input, not destiny — structural path constraints dominate his probability.
  1. 1.Tucker register score: highest in entire corpus across both parties. high personal-anchoring — highest of any candidate scored. AmFest 2025 / Deplatforming speech — pure movement-leader register.
  2. 2.Conditional path: ~15% he runs (no campaign, no donor network, no party infrastructure currently).
  3. 3.IF he runs: ~30% he wins primary (would need Trump endorsement to overcome Vance institutional advantage; controversy/scandal exposure caps ceiling).
  4. 4.IF he wins primary: ~30% he wins general (controversy ceiling in suburban + moderate R lanes).
