18. GOP had NO PROB with him running on their ticket after that--plus being put in mental institution(!)

But the Ukraine thing... KRYPTONITE! (They asked him to drop out today, I think)

The bowling party occurred about a week before police were called to Trump’s Doral resort in Miami-Dade County for a “male in distress fearing for his life,” according to a police report from the incident.

Hyde told officers that he had been “set up and that a hit man was out to get him,” officers wrote. Hyde “spoke about emails he sent that may have placed his life in jeopardy” and said he believed that painters and landscape workers were trying to harm him and that the Secret Service was watching him.

Doral police classified the May 16 episode as a “Baker/Marchman Act” incident, referring to the Florida laws that allow a person to be involuntarily detained and treated for mental illness or substance abuse.

In a now-deleted social media post at the end of May, Hyde described being “Baker Acted” for nine days. “I passed all medicals, physicals, psych exams and diagnosis with flying colors .?.?. So in all honesty, eff you and your intelligence agencies, whatever or whoever was or is effing with me.”
