Yup. No way dems get the Idaho statehouse so less crazy on the R ticket is better.
Also notch up another “L” for the losing loser who endorses losers.

Sorry, McGeachin, you’re never gonna get access to the state plane. Maybe ask Kristi Noem for a ride?

He does a lot of cherry picking. Not to say he doesn’t sway some races too. Sadly.

Also, the GOP is full of freaks, in the not-a-good-freak sense.

The primary record (since 2016) is John Wooden like. That said, he and his cronies usually turn it into a Bill Goldberg spectacle.

She was a nut a REAL NUT from day One of her tenure.
Hope she disappears into Palin-land.

It was a relief that she couldn’t make it even on a Republican primary ballot in Idaho.
It is to be hoped that the Republican fad for Cray Cray becomes a passing folly.

Some of you may recall “Lazlo Toth”. This was the pseudonym of a satirist who wrote phony right wing letters to republican public officials and then published their sympathetic replies (look up “The Lazlo Letters”).
I often think these days that an aspiring Lazlo could simply copy the standard tropes that aspiring RW candidates spew out to their rubes into a news letter and generate quite a few votes without even making a physical appearance in front of a camera or a crowd. They might even get nominated or elected.
McGeachin is just this much closer to open rebellion is my guess.
