Rocky De La Fuente is at it Again

If you guys remember in 2016, this guy ran in the Democratic Primaries against Hillary, but very few people voted for him before switching over the Reform Party and Delta Party.

In 2018, he switched over to the Republican Party and ran in a bunch of Senate primaries to gain name recognition (33 I think). Now apparently this guy is running in the Republican Presidential Primary against Trump.

Would it not be a swift act of karma if something happens to Trump and Pence during the primary season (like getting impeached), and this was the guy left standing by default?

...William Weld, for one, and I think there’s another “mainstream” GOPper in the race as well.

And, no, if Trump and Pence were to both get impeached and convicted before the convention (next to impossible), that guy wouldn’t get it anyway. Assuming that Trump still won a YUUUGE majority of the delegates (a near-certainty), those delegates would simply be declared “uncommitted,” and we’d get a brokered convention where the nominee would be decided in the proverbial smoke-filled room by GOP insiders...it would probably be someone like Cruz or Rubio. Maybe even Jeb!
