True. But I would argue that it is precisely the fact that they are (and already were) the latter that allows them to take up the former without batting an eye.
Two guys from New York get pulled over for speeding by a classic redneck state trooper. Mirror glasses, the whole thing. He walks up to the car, leans in with his nightstick and cracks the driver in the face with it.
"Why'd you do that?" the driver asks. "I didn't do anything."
"You weren't standing outside the car waiting for me when I walked up."
The guy gets out of the car, and the trooper cracks him in the face again with the stick.
"Now what'd I do?" the guy asks.
"You didn't have your license out to present to me when I walked up."
The guy get out his license, and the trooper cracks him in the face again.
"Now what?" the guy asks.
"You didn't have your registration ready to give to me when I walked up."
The guy hands him the registration, and the trooper proceeds to write the ticket. When he's done, he hands the ticket and other documents back to the driver and says, "Drive safe now."
While the guy's getting back in the car, the trooper walks around to the passenger side, leans in, and cracks the passenger in the face with his stick.
"What was that for?" the passenger asks.
"Buddy," the trooper says, "I just granted you your wish."
"What wish?"
"You fellows are about to take off, and about a half mile down the road, you were going to turn to your friend and say, 'I wish he'd hit me with that goddamned stick just once.'"
Republican Ken Blackwell tried that against Democrat Ted Strickland in the 2006 gubernatorial election in Ohio. Ted was a Congressman at the time, representing a district on the southeast side of the state in Appalachia. That's where he lived. He also had a small condo near the Columbus, Ohio airport, which was the closest airport to his home, still a three-hour drive. He had the condo so he could sleep there upon arrival and get up and make the drive home in the morning.
Days before the election, Blackwell claimed that the condo in Columbus was his primary residence, and he didn't actually live in his district. He tried to use that to have Strickland thrown off the ballot.
On election night, the polls in Ohio closed at 7:30 EST. CNN called the race for Ted Strickland at 7:35 EST.
That's pretty much been Rupert Murdoch's plan all along.
He's like Charles Manson without the songwriting abilities.
And "rancher" George Jr.
Plus Florida Man Jeb!

Yes - Fascists ARE schoolyard bullies, taller and dressed up (sort of)

Rene, care for another beer?
I thought the world was my oyster.
I wonder if that's the only four-syllable word Trump is capable of saying.
The glare from their two bald heads out in the yard on a sunny day could be seen from the ISS.

Also 'Panama' McCain.
Too soon?
I just can't imagine what Fox Fake News would say if Jesus really did return.
I can. “Nail him back up.”
Who?
There's actually a book written with that as the premise; "The Messiah of Morris Avenue".
Oh, I agree, she's definitely too young and too experienced to run for POTUS. I have enjoyed watching her drive the GOP mad.
