Suicide? Yeah, right. Where was Hillary Clinton when this guy was murdered?

Republicans encouraged people to vote the deceased guy so that party leaders could pick their own candidate.

Republicans don’t believe in democracy even in their own primaries.

Another bazaar Republican political story subverting voters. Next Hillary “lungazi” story please.

Yeah, so many levels of snark to go after, but I’ll avoid talking about Nojay.

However, the mayor saying, “I really believe we would have fared better with Mr. Nojay still alive” takes the cake for the dumbest comment by an already-elected official in … shit, I can’t even snark on that one this election season.

Nojay’s Republican-leaning district in the Legislature’s lower chamber covers parts of suburban Rochester and the Finger Lakes region.

I lived in that district for many years, if it is an ® after the name they will vote for whomever…

One of the big reasons to reduce exposure to guns is suicide.

Firearm suicides
Number of deaths: 21,175.
Deaths per 100,000 population: 6.7.
