Even I can’t devil’s advocate for this dude. Over the top. I propose this thread be repurposed to kitten appreciation and general PG-rated merry-making (until nightfall, when we all go naked but for a light coat of olive oil and do wrestling on the back lawn under the glow of tiki torches). ---

Again, this guy is not running as a Republican. He will get less than 20 votes. Huff-po is just publicizing him for clicks, which is wildly irresponsible on their part. If he commits a crime, hopefully the law will take care of him. For the rest of us, it’s better to ignore him. ---
