    When the boat that’s burning like a viking funeral looks like a better choice than the one you’re on, things aren’t going your way in life.

      He is running to do what Trump wanted to do in 2016. When he fails to win, and he will, he will pivot his followers into some new media outlet. He may also be angling for a cabinet spot but he probably doesnt fit the mold for that.

        I was referring the political director, not Ramaswamy. Though similarly, I suspect the political director guy knows trump isn’t going to make it to the general but feels like taking a job with him will set him up to be campaign director for the next new trump.

          What makes you think Trump won’t make it to the general election?

            The money has turned against him, and money tends to win the primaries.

              I could easily see Putin giving him a billion through some dark money superpac bullshit if it meant winning. Trump would hand him Ukraine territory on a silver platter.

        Better hope his smoldering jacket doesn’t ignite the sewer gas.
