Minor Party Primaries Results and Discussion

[The Mikado]

Updated for LP Ohio primary which Hornberger won. While Hornberger's lead is at this point pretty insurmountable it must be noted that the LP process is non-binding, leaving much room for an Amash entry. Given Amash's pretty steep hill to get reelected and his own posturing I personally expect he will enter the LP race.

May 21st is not far away. If he's going to enter, he's going to have to do so soon.

I saw Jorgensen’s running mate is Spike Cohen, and apparently there’s some drama because that’s not who she wanted? Who did she want, and who’s Spike?

This is Spike Cohen.

Spike Cohen was born Jeremy Cohen at an extremely young age in 1982.  At the age of 3, Jeremy went to the theater with his family to watch the My Little Pony movie.  After witnessing the heroism and bravery of Spike the purple dragon, he informed his family that Jeremy was in fact dead, and he was now Spike.  This bit of information proved to be a strong indicator of how Spike would conduct himself for the rest of his life.

At the age of 16, Spike was informed that he couldn’t simply do drugs his entire life, and that he either needed to start a career or go to university.  Spike decided to learn how to do web design, and within a couple of years he had a successful business. Spike credits the lack of occupational licensing requirements for his ability to go into business with minimal barrier to entry.

This is what Spike is about.
