Ammon Bundy files paperwork to run for Idaho governor as Republican

[packman]

Ammon Bundy, a far-right activist who legally can’t step on Idaho Capitol grounds or be in the building, is running for governor, according to a filing with the Idaho Secretary of State.

Bundy on Friday filed paperwork needed to collect donations to campaign in the governor’s race. He enters an already crowded race of Republican candidates, including Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin. Gov. Brad Little has not officially announced a run for reelection.

Bundy, of Emmett, was arrested twice last month in two hours on misdemeanor trespassing charges at the Statehouse building. Last August, he was barred from the Capitol grounds for one year and prohibited from coming to the public areas of the building.

1. He could win right?

Looking at that picture kind of put the mask thing in perspective for me. As we’ve become accustomed to always having a mask with us it must be like people who wear cowboy hats as a piece of normal attire. Like they purposely grab that as they leave the house.

3. Yes, he could. Sarah Sanders is the current favorite for the Arkansas Governors race.

For claiming to be the party of law and order and family values, Republicans have no problem backing criminals and liars for public office.

2. These idiots have learned that they can make a lucrative living by making

an ass of themselves. We see it all the time in Texas. Dumbass is an attractive asset for a large segment of Americans.

4. Ammon Bundy should be imprisoned as a felon but could win election as Governor of Idaho

There is a movement to split off parts of northern California and Oregon to make a Greater Idaho.

Not a good situation. Bundy needs harsh and firm treatment for his removal from the equation to keep others safe. Too many support Bundy.

7. Time to re-register as a republican in our closed primary state.

8. The hat brim doubles as a chopper - if he wins would Idaho impeach him?

9. I think to win as a Republican he's going to have to amp up the crazy.

The competition is getting tough out there.
