Makes you wonder if this is a set-up to get somebody on the ballot who wasn’t going to survive a primary challenge.
Step One: Win the primary.
Step Two: Say something afterwards that is extremely controversial and poorly-stated.
Step Three: Step down so some retread can run without a Tea Party challenge.
Can’t really imagine The Stupid Party being that clever. If these were Democrats though, it would make sense but then if these were Democrats, everyone would circle the wagons and defend the idiot comment otherwise Obama and Biden would already be out of a job.
Doesn’t matter if they planned it or not. The oligarchs do not like the people selecting their own leaders. They want them to be appointed by themselves. And now’s their chance!
