What is up with this guy ??

He has now gone, hat in hand, first to Trump & Then to Harris trying to peddle an endorsement, in exchange for some kind of 'cabinet appointment'.

Thing is, he's dragging 5-8 % of goober-level voters, and so could actually, theoretically, throw the election one way or the other, if it gets real close.

One possible explanation is that he doesn't want to carry the weight of being a spoiler, after all, and is rather pathetically looking to jump off the merry-go-round and get something in return.

He strikes me as another weird, nutty, sleazy sort of attention-seeking git (think Vivek) drafting onto an election process he actually has no valid part of - there could be ten other presumably wealthy goofballs doing what he's doing, basically injecting chaos, running their own game having nothing to do with actually contending for the office itself.

So... we have a semi-recovering brain-damaged heroin addict, a sociopathic convicted felon, and a rather normal sort of politician contending for your vote. If this is a hard choice for you, I don't have a lot to offer.
