MN-GOV: Mike Lindell to Run for Minnesota Governor

[RandySF]

“MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has filed paperwork to run for governor of Minnesota, creating a campaign committee that will allow him to raise money,” the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

“Lindell’s possible entrance into the race would shake up what’s become a crowded field of Republicans who are seeking to challenge DFL Gov. Tim Walz. His close proximity to President Donald Trump and prominence in the Make America Great Again movement could make him a top contender for the GOP nomination, despite concerns about his electability and promotion of debunked election fraud theories.”

2. Doesn't that require a $100 filing fee? I wonder who loaned him that kind of cash?

5. I can't imagine he gets through the primary against much more experienced politicians.

But he may make for some pretty funny headlines while trying!

8. Winning is not his goal. He just needs 'donations'

And he probably doesn't know he has to account for how political campaign donations get spent. Seems a lot of these hyper RW doofuses don't understand much about any laws, they just think filing for office means they get free money.

6. A debate with Walz would be amusing.

Remember when Lindell got owned by a 12 year old kid at the DNC?
