Hugh Hewitt on MTP: "Its a shame Angela Merkel criticized America on Memorial Day."

Also, "She started it."

On some level I enjoy how loving sadly stupid Hewitt's arguments are.

glad someone is running in that district, but I hope there's going to be at least two someones

No poo poo, that is a terrible loving candidate. Paul Ryan's going to win anyway, but a carpetbagger is not going to have a chance.

Man I remember how in 2012 Moonbase Newt got caught paying for twitter followers. LOL.

Also why does Twitter make it so easy to do this?

Like I still don't have a twitter account so I don't know what the signup process is like, but surely their sign up process has basic checks like needing a legit email(which in turn at least has it own checks) and CAPTCHAchachacha stuff.

"trying":

quote:

ABOUT

His dad was a water treatment plant worker and his mother was a property manager. He grew up playing soccer and football, and he played childhood chess games with his grandfather. He learned the importance of social justice, empathy toward others, and doing the right thing even when it is difficult. His passion for public service was sparked when, at 10 years old, he attended a campaign rally and met his new hero, then-First Lady Hillary Clinton.

In a state that elected Walker three times and Ryan eight loving times, this dude runs for office and openly admits worshipping Hillary.

Yeah, he has zero chance.

If he is truly passionate about public service, I think perhaps he needs to spend more time in Wisconsin and understand its people better, then significantly revise his messaging.

He can be a warm body carried into office through a national wave, that otherwise might stay in Republican hands because no candidate was on the ballot to benefit from the wave. But he's sure not going to be doing himself any favors by campaigning, writing, or opening his mouth in public if that's the best he can do.

He seems like the kind of candidate that might flush a local candidate out of the bushes. If you're a local with even a flicker of a dream of public office, they can look at this guy and go "I can do better than that!" and maybe throw their hat in the ring. Or at least that's my hope.
