I love how the media keeps pretending the GOP base might actually choose somebody other than Trump. Recently Christie has been floated as a possible Trump alternative. He’s at a stupendous 2.3%. That’s 0.3% above Scott who already dropped out.

I put a very bad Halley/Meatball joke in the title but I removed it. [CW: sexist]

Halley coming for Meatball.

      I can’t resist telling this dumb joke again. He should have spent tons on ad buys where he’s eating fast food and the narrator says he has “Burgermentum” and then he says “My last name is Burgum…” and then they playfully argue. As it is - he’s a generic white guy that nobody will ever remember.

      There’s also a pastor in Texas who is running but I think he’s been at basically 0%.

      Ryan Binkley is the president of a mergers and acquisitions firm and the pastor of a Texas church. He has never held or run for elected office before.

      Burgum has major “Mississippi governor” vibes. Was surprised to see he’s from North Dakota
