He is one of their own, he won’t get elected running as a Libertarian, just like his old man. The Kentucky GOP is stuck with him and they have to defend or deflect a lot of this foolishness.

If I were running as a candidate against "BigSkyFreeper for Senate", it would be safe to say that I would not be considered to be "on your side". I would be trying to take votes from you; that's hardly supportive.
