This guy isn’t a candidate for anything, he says on his website that he wants to work for a member of Congress. Presumably a Republican member of Congress.

It would be a waste of everyone’s time, but it sure would be funny to have trump play Serena in tennis. A few blistering serves hitting trump and knocking him to the ground would make a great video. ---

Trump couldn’t survive the serve of the local 12 and under Girl’s Tennis Team alternate. The one with the broken serving arm. ---

Here’s something else he said. > The Republican governor also told “Lone Star Politics” that reporting a rape to law enforcement “will ensure that the rapist will be arrested and prosecuted.” > > However, very few rape cases result in an arrest. While there were 13,327 reported rapes in Texas in 2020, there were only 1,828 arrests for rape, according to the [state’s department of public safety](https://www.dps.texas.gov/sites/default/files/documents/crimereports/20/2020cit.pdf). Which, to be fair, is a worldwide problem. He _does_ realize that Plan B is much less effective starting at patient weights of 165 pounds, right?
