You know, I never really thought of putting Haig in the crank category, as anyone you can trust with NATO is not going to be a crank. Those guys are capable of starting WWIII and engage in a lot of diplomacy.
But Haig did have major problems, a very inflated ego, overly sensitive, and always thought that he should be the man in charge.
Mark Wicks (L) got 5.7% of the Montana vote. If he had thrown his support behind Rob Quist (D), the election may have been decided by less than 2% of the vote which could have sent shivers through Republican circles. (Trump won Montana by 20 points over Clinton).
Wicks had to know he had zero chance before the election.
Why run for President when there is no chance?
Mental illness, fortunately it’s treatable.
Ah, yes, I remember that SNL bit.
Edit: There’s one line in that that’s not as funny as it used to be…
