Guess who’s considering running for governor of Minnesota?
MAGA election conspiracy theorist and MyPillow founder Mike Lindell has eyes on what could be his next gig. And it isn’t selling pillows.
Lindell on Monday teased a run for Minnesota governor, a race that could see him face off against popular incumbent Tim Walz, who is said to be sizing up a third term in the post.
“I live here in Minnesota,” Lindell said of his potential opponent. “Everywhere I go, no one wants Tim Walz. They don’t.”
Everywhere I go, we all laugh at Mike Lindell. I suspect there might be some consistent differences in the company we run with.
I hope he does run, though. He’ll siphon off money from anyone who is a competitor to the DFL candidate for the position.
Which tells you something about the places he goes.
I’m pretty sure that is the intent.

April Fools?
Gunna be highly skeptical of any news stories seen until that international planetary dateline has passed well into the second half of the second day of April here in Oz.** Probly for a few days after that too.
(Is his running mate Rudy Guiliani* by any chance?)
Ofc, problem with political jokes is sometimes they do get elected..
.* FWIW there was a time Rudy was briefly a serious Preisdential contender.Yes, really. See :

.** Where its presently literally a minute till midnight on the 1st / 2nd April temporal boarder.
Now I see Ted Lawry just beat me to one of those lines.. Ah,well.
At least Mike Lindell will have plenty of pillows to cry into on election night. That is, if reality works as it’s supposed to instead of how it has been.
Ted Lawry @ #2 said, “The problem with political jokes: they get elected”. Indeed! And do not say Mikie can’t win. He can win. Look who’s in the White House and contemplate the number of people who said he can’t win a second term…or even a first term. And please, don’t say he can’t run and win a third term. He can, and they will try to get that set up for themselves.
Help the buffon beat the other Republicans in the primaries!
He may impress other conspiracy theorists but not even Minnesota has enough nuts to reach 51%. Ultimately a political candidate has to meet the voters by debating opponents in public. Lindell has no debate experience and probably very little knowledge of the basic issues Minnesotans are concerned about.
Even the rusty old Democrats around Chuck Shumer et al will run rings around him. In fact, the late congresswoman from California could be a tough match for Lindell.

If you think I underestimate his skills you are welcome to view his two documentaries (or “documovies” as he calls them) where he ‘proves’ the 2020 election was rigged by…something something computers.
-Here is a summary of the first of them in a format that is more enjoyable than the source material.

Crazier than Trump but without the charisma.
Maybe encourage him to run as a third candidate for hard-core MAGA enthusiasts who find traditional Republicans suspect.
In other April Fools Day news, I heard last night that Elon says he’s leaving DOGE at the end of May. By then he expects to have completely ruined the Federal government and plundered a good deal of it for himself.
Shouldn’t he be bankrupt and imprisoned by now?
