1. I don't know whether to laugh or cry over this fact.

[shanny]

2. not to mention an "out" white supremacist

[Initech]

14. Steve King? He's not just an out white supremacist, he's a full blown Nazi.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he has a trunk full of SS memorabilia in his basement.

3. I knew about the dead pimp, but who are the felons?

[rurallib]

4. Collins in NY and Hunter in Cali. - maybe not felons yet, but soon to be

That is my guess anyway -
OOPS 3 felons? not sure who #3 is - Rick Scott possibly?

6. That's pretty much what Rachel said too.

She didn't say that in exact words, but she asked the audience "Can he legislate prison?" regarding both candidates.

7. Who is the dead pimp?

Dead Republican brothel owner wins election in Nevada


(Reuters) - A brothel-owning, evangelical Christian-backed Republican candidate who died last month won his race for the Nevada state legislature late on Tuesday, according to state election officials.

Dennis Hof, 72, defeated Democratic candidate and educator Lesia Romanov in the race for Nevada’s 36th Assembly District, earning about 68 percent of the vote. County officials said they would appoint a replacement candidate from the same party for his seat.

A representative for Romanov did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Hof, who presented himself as an American pimp, was a strip-club owner who ran multiple brothels. He had nicknamed himself the “Trump from Pahrump,” after the town where he lived in Nevada.

8. Good one!! nt

[Just a Weirdo]

9. Except the dead pimp was local...

Well known, but was running for something local, not national.

[pazzyanne]

12. That makes this even more awful!

If he was local, people had to know he was dead, and they still voted for him? Republicans have lost their minds!!!!

[Cha]

13. Symbolic of the difference between the

two parties.

Whoever says "..they're the same"? is brainwashed.

[cstanleytech]

20. For some all it takes is a light rinse. nt

[dalton99a]

15. Compare and contrast

[brooklynite]

16. The problem with this OP is that it insinuates that being a legal brothel owner is a bad thing...

[Manastash]

17. Washington State nonsense

In our district the republican candidate who said he would not accept a win in Kittitas County. He was the incumbent and was also under investigation regarding issues with sex with students. The college Central Washington State University terminated him. He was elected so we either have a pervert as a representative or who knows who will be appointed. Ugh

19. Wow.
