Donald Trump wants to run for Governor of New Damn York.

Oh crap, here we go again.

Trump spent more than two hours behind closed doors with county GOP chairmen across the New York and other party leaders as they encourage him to run for governor this fall against Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat.

Trump told the group that he would need to see the party unified behind him if he were to run, said spokesman Michael Cohen.

The upside:  New York would have a goofier Governor than Texas, Arizona, and New Jersey.  Combined.  That would give us all a little wiggle room in the My Governor is Goofier Than Your Governor Sweepstakes.

The downside:  It’s Donald Trump.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.

Louie Gohmert cannot let a day go by without rending you that President Barack Obama is just like the Soviet Union.  Just like.  Exactly.  Same exact deal.

When asked about Obamacare, which is just like the Soviet Union, Gohmert replied …

There are some people that say, “Just let it go, it will fail on its own, and so why not let it go?” Well, that is true. It will fall on its own. But the Soviet Union was destined to fall. But think of the tens of millions of people that died, think of all the freedoms that were taken away from people for around 70 plus years.

Yep.  That’s Obamacare – taking away freedom for 70 plus years.

Thanks to Karl for the heads up.

My favorite Chris Christie lines so far that y’all have sent me.

Updated Ann Coulter: “If we don’t run Louie Gohmert, Chris Christie will be the nominee and we will lose.” From Jan

I understand that he announced the execution of his uncle.  From LE

I was just watching Fox News.  What’s this about Obama closing bridges on a whim?  From Tom

And from John —-

Denton County is in north Texas and is in Texas only because Oklahoma doesn’t suck quite enough.  It is full of Republican women who are not rich enough or pretty enough to make it in the Dallas social scene but fancy themselves to be Sue Ellen Ewing.

And that’s how Dianne Edmondson came to be the Republican county chair in Denton County.

When Dianne is not busy looking down her nose at you, she sends out emails to the party faithful.

They are perky, blinking lights kind of emails.  You know, the kind where you know she laments daily that her keyboard doesn’t give her a choice of dotting her i’s with little hearts.

Here, let me show you a snippet from her latest email.

You can click the little one to get the big one.

Oh yeah, she said that.  You can go look for yourself.

Dianne, you know we can hear you, right?

Abortion Barbie and Hispanic Sen?  Really?  Those are the worst two things you could come up with?

And, if you have the guts, you can scroll down the newsletter and see that their Lincoln Reagan Day Dinner will feature not only Ted Cruz but also his batcrap crazy Dad.  As the warm-up act is … oh yeah, Louie Gohmert.

Come on, Oklahoma, suck harder.

My State Senator is trying to move up in the world.  His name is Glenn Hegar and he’s dumb as a sack of hammers.  And doesn’t look much better either.

So who should he tout as an endorser in his campaign for Texas Comptroller during the Republican primary?

Oh right, the guy who called Ted Cruz every name in the book.

Smart move in the Republican primary in Texas, Glenn.  No wait ….

Thanks to Victoria Linn for the heads up.
