It’s been less than a week since the midterm elections, with several races still too close to call, but that doesn’t mean it’s too soon for the 2020 election to officially get rolling. On Sunday, the first Democrat candidate filed the paperwork to kick off what is destined to be the most over-the-top, hysteria-filled, post-post-apocalyptic election yet.
Even before Democrat Richard Ojeda filed to take him on, President Trump had already managed to give the presidential hopeful a nickname: “stone cold crazy.” To make things even more fun, though “JFK with tattoos and a bench press,” as ABC notes he’s called, is now officially running against Trump, he voted for him back in 2016.
Though he failed to get elected for West Virginia’s 3rd Congressional District last week, falling short by a sizable 13 points to Republican Carol Miller, Ojeda still believes he’s got a shot at the highest office in the land. He announced his bid for the presidency Monday morning, and made quite clear what kind of campaign he’s going to run: A drain-the-swamp, anti-establishment campaign aimed at appealing to the blue collar voters Hillary Clinton abandoned in 2016.
As for Trump’s “stone-cold crazy” line, Ojeda’s embracing it, telling ABC, “If I’m stone-cold crazy because I have a hard time going to sleep at night because we have kids that go to bed hungry, then I’ll be stone-cold crazy, and I’m OK with that.” – READ MORE
