There was an old old story about Joe Kennedy doing something similar in one of JFK's early campaigns. Recruited a guy with the same name as Kennedy's leading primary opponent, splitting that vote so JFK won the primary.

I'm old enough to remember a Texas State Treasurer who was on the ballot for decades as "Jesse James".

He once won a primary race against Warren G. Harding.

Interesting. Apparently, anything that hurts D's is "an attack on our democracy." Wonder when they will finally decide that they've beaten that phrase to death.

This is how you properly troll!

Of course it was for that. In what universe did you think it was okay to post a naked man spreading open his butt cheeks on our platform?

Does WA have a top-two runoff instead of a primary?
