Some are arguing that he had no intention of winning. His goal was to get the infrastructure set up for 2020. This really does explain a lot of weird stuff, not least of which was the tone and words in his concession speech.
We underestimate this dirtbag at our peril. Pair him up with Gillum add in an almost certain Kamikaze GOPe “3rd party” run and the 2020 POTUS race will start to look a lot like 1992. . We know how that turned out.
You misspelled "Kasich".
So does Kasich pick Flake for his running mate to keep the operation GOPe, or does he choose a Democrat like Anderson did? (There are rumors of Hickenlooper.)
