Real* emails from real readers…

“We don’t care how much you mock our boss, because after all, he’s been to space. We’re sure he can milk that for another election cycle..” Nelson Campaign Staffers

I’d laugh at this if I wasn’t already busy brainstorming ways to disabuse voters of that notion in a series of television ads.” –Melissa Stone

“Don’t sweat it….we’ve already got enough material for a miniseries on NBC. It’s going to be the most fun campaign ever.” Curt “The Whale Whisperer” Anderson

Is it safe for me to poke my head out of my foxhole yet? It seems yet another study pokes holes in my alarmist agenda, and I don’t know what to think anymore.” –Phil Levine

Is it safe for me to poke my head up out of my foxhole yet? I managed to hide for the past ten days and the media didn’t seem to notice…” –Ron DeSantis
