5. I wonder how Paxton could counter the obnoxiousness of Gohmert?

Insinuating murder through anime is one thing, but maybe Gohmert and Paxton could crank it up a notch in Texas GOP politics, to show they aren’t really cowards.

Maybe dueling for the nomination should be the way they handle it?

11. How about a live cage open carry match?

The first person who can wrestle a loaded firearm from the other wins. Safety off.

14. Why not?

They like violence, so lets help them get started, by giving them ideas to change GOP rules for primary races!

6. The Onion may as well fold up.

You can’t make up this stuff anymore.

7. He's doing it as a favor for his pal, Donald Trump.

Trump would like to control all the AG's in all the states before the next election.

12. What's attractive is that special kind of stupid.

Gohmert's supporters LOVE the fact that he's stupid like a fox. His brand is that he can sound so alarmingly empty-headed, and sell it as a "hidden talent" wink to the fascists. He's sneaky and crafty, and his intelligence is well-hidden in that folksy drool accompanied by his moist handkerchief, always at the ready. He makes Texas GOPers happy to be alive. And that's worth something.

15. Gohmert's stupidity is genuine, but yes, he probably does have some limited smarts...

...in the area of manipulating people (mostly fellow stupid people) and cleverly fucking people over to get ahead.

Much like Trump, but without the narcissism-on-steroids where Trump excels like no other.

[LiberalFighter]

10. If he wins the nomination I hope there is a trove of video clips showing his stupidity.

13. Louie Gohmert's new campaign slogan.

16. Which is worse - the one who willfully breaks the law or the one who is ignorant of the law?

17. I get mixed up between Gohmert and Gosar
