>>>>> picking Louis Farrakhan supporter Fulani as a running mate is not the topic here,

Buchanan's running mate was Ezola Foster, a conservative black Christian from Los Angeles. You could look it up, if facts mattered to you.

From Wikipedia:

During the 2000 election, Fulani shocked many when she endorsed Pat Buchanan, then running on the Reform Party ticket. Some papers incorrectly reported that Fulani was Buchanan's running mate, but this position actually belonged to Ezola Foster. Fulani did, however, serve for a time as a campaign advisor. This was seen as a strange meeting of two ends of the political spectrum who had very little in common, though both candidates had previously been accused of anti-semitism. However, both Buchanan and Fulani related in populist language that they represented marginalized groups who were fed up with the two-party system. Fulani later withdrew her endorsement of the Buchanan campaign on the grounds that it had "hijacked" the Reform movement in order to further Buchanan's own right wing agenda. [6] Foster responded by claiming that Fulani was quite clear on Buchanan's objectives both before and while she worked with him. [7]

Lenora Fulani was PB's campaign co-chair on the Reform Party ticket. Not good company.

Of course you are right.

He supports the socialist, Louis Farrakhan supporting anti-semite for President.

"Buchanan's running mate was Ezola Foster, a conservative black Christian from Los Angeles."

The confusion comes in from the fact that Pat Buchanan allied himself during the Reform Party primary campaign with Lenora Fulani, an communist black atheist from New York. About the only touchstone of commonality that he could claim with Fulani was a rabid hatred of Israel.
