At least thats what the talking heads said. I wasnt watching closely. Hes always been a very forgettable person, easily overlooked.

Dan Quayle has been out there, but somehow has been invisible.
From Wikipedia:
Quayle considered but decided against running for Governor of Indiana in 1996. He decided against running for the 1996 Republican presidential nomination, citing health problems related to phlebitis.
Quayle announced, during an appearance on Larry King Live, his intention to run for president in 2000. In April 1999, Quayle officially announced his candidacy for the 2000 Republican presidential nomination, attacking front-runner George W. Bush by saying "we do not want another candidate who needs on-the-job training".
Quayle, then working as an investment banker in Phoenix, was mentioned as a candidate for Governor of Arizona prior to the 2002 election, but eventually declined to run.
He has signed on the statement of principles of the Project for the New American Century.
For the United States presidential election in 2016 Quayle endorsed fellow Republican Jeb Bush. After Bush failed to win the nomination he ultimately endorsed Donald Trump; he was later seen visiting with Trump at Trump Tower in Manhattan prior to the inauguration.
