Non-clowncar-candidate Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) was caught on an open mic telling a colleague “I’ve been joking with Lindsey. Did you see that? He’s going to have a rotating first lady. He’s a bro with no ho. that’s what we’d say on the street.”

We need two Republican leagues (The Amerikan League and the Nazional League), each with three divisions and each division with four conferences. The winner of each conference and two top-ranking wildcard candidates will play sub-conference playoffs and then conference playoffs.
