If it's not a libertarian real estate slumlord hitting SBA for $40 million in loans, it's a politician trying to steal the system.

Did Elder really think he would make it? In the face of a popular Governor who flooded the state with relief checks? Voters have memories, they know who buttered their bread.

Was Elder an experiment for the GQP? How well can a POC do in our party? To me he was Herman Cain redux, but I can't guess or fathon if a fundamentalist white grifter would have done any better. There were 47 other GOP duds? Sweet day for America!
