Should be toast. Unfortunately the Pubbie options aren’t too compelling:
Simmons, the former Rep, is pretty tepid but supposedly the frontrunner.
McMahon, the wrestling promoter, has big bucks that she is spending freely, but she’s been a Democrat donor and may not be much of a Republican at all.
Schiff, who is the natural FR favorite, explained in a recent video how he’s running part-time in his free time because he has a job to hold down at his own money-management firm. Perhaps he’d taper off his day job if he won the primary? The seat? Either way, his polling seems to reflect his commitment.
If I were Peter Schiff...upon hearing the news today...I would appoint an acolyte to manage (day to day) EuroPac. He can still be updated and give advice in the evening.
And I’d put my foot on the gas and GO. He is the one candidate that has the proper background for the time we’re in..right now.
People are nervous about the economy, the currency, their pensions, etc. He has a chance to be the man of the hour.
Let’s see if he’s got any stones.
