The three candidates for GOP nomination for gov. of MS, during their debate, was asked the question “Who do you admire?”
Yeah, you can guess their answer pretty easily.
RR.
The GOP worships RR because… well, because he was the last national level GOP politician who played the mythos character well.
Interestingly, one of the candidates also mentioned GWB besides RR.
Anyway, of the 100 billion or so humans who have walked this planet, I notice that GOP candidates are required to admire collectively just one person: RR.
