I can't see Timken getting the nod from Primary voters. She may be as asshat crazy as the rest of them, but she's still considered an establishment Republican in Ohio. The Timken name carries a lot of weight there. But the Base demands to be entertained, and she's just not that entertaining.

Moreno, a Trumpist businessman, just dropped out, evidently at TFG's urging. It's coming down to Josh and Vance, and Josh does not entertain them either. If Vance gets the nom, I don't know if that's good news for John McCain, but it gets me more excited about Tim Ryan's chances.

Whatever sexual behavior it is that Trump is fixated on with Mandel, you better believe it’s something that hits close to home with Trump’s. Otherwise he wouldn’t be so hung up on it and wanting to make others agree with him saying it’s weird.

When that orange dumpster fire doesn't think you have the right look or that you come across poorly on TV I mean...

Not that I'm for giving any Republican the benefit of the doubt but what do you want to bet it's something like Mandel never wanted to go to Epstein's island?

Or tip of same. Would explain Marge’s Vance endorsement.

Dear FSM, we live in an era where someone would want to be endorsed by that monster.
