And that's because Ammon Bundy, famous for opening a box of sex toys on camera during an illegal 2016 camping trip in Oregon, has left the Idaho Republican governor's race and now plans to run as an independent.

The sick thing is, he said something true: the Republican establishment in Idaho is full of filth and corruption.
Hopefully we have someone good to take advantage of Bundy splitting the GOP vote - which he will do. In this state, before the GOP closed their primaries, the largest group of voters were unaffiliated because the Idaho GOP was too far to the left for them. (And yes, you are quite correct: Benito Mussolini is too far to the left for the Idaho GOP.) I think we'll wind up with Janice McGeachin, who is on record as having tried to overthrow the governor at least twice, on the GOP ticket and Bundy on his independent thing splitting 56 percent of the vote, and a Manchin clone with a D behind his name taking the rest of the vote and the governor's mansion due to the majority in this state wanting someone conservative but not insane to lead them.
