"Brown and Bayes didn’t disappoint with their closing remarks.

Brown said that after God told him he was going to be president, he got the presidential seal tattooed on his shoulder and launched his presidential campaign. Unfortunately, that campaign

got him kicked out of the basement he was living in. Brown showed a note from an alleged prophet that stated the conversation with God was the real deal. He explained he was only running for governor because he needed practice.

Bayes concluded by saying that the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986 was a sign of the apocalypse. Idaho needed to stock up on potassium iodide to protect themselves from radiation, he remarked.

“My Bible says it’s going to get worse and worse and worse,” he said."

Idaho politics exist in some reality outside the one most of the rest of the humans on the planet recognize.

I think the others may have been hired to make Clem look like a "normal guy" as the nutjob described. If you put up a bunch of really scary options and the RWNJ in a suit stands next to them, he actually looks normal and scares the constituents into voting for the normal looking guy even though he's flat out bat-shit crazy himself. Happens in most primary seasons in Idaho. And for icing on the cake, he actually can speak in complete sentences sometimes.

If you said "4", you have forgotten the other 2 times that he ran when he ran for office as an Independent (once), and as a Libertarian (once).

He's a shoo-in for the next Idaho GOP Party Chairman, because he's full of SH*T!!!!!
