Predictions for Fitzpatrick
Here is my prediction on how well Mark Fitzpatrick will do in the GOP Governor Primary. I guess he will get 10-15% of the vote. When he loses, he will complain bitterly and use the presence of his online sock puppet accounts to pretend he has proof of massive public support. I am willing to bet that he will talk about how many signs he had up during the campaign, while conveniently leaving out the fact that many were put up on private property without permission.
He will use this to draw the bitterest segment of MAGA that hs internalized losing into a core part of their personality to draw traffic to his bar, twitter account, podcasts and MAGA loserfest events.
He may threaten to sue the state over the election, that fits well within the MAGA loser brand, but I have serious doubts that he will follow through as the goal is to use these stunts to draw support and dollars, not to actually spend money getting spanked in court.
Ultimately he will continue performing his publicity stunts for his fan club but return to political irrelevance.

Memorial Day vigil
Join us on May 23 from 10:00-11:00 am at the Boise Capitol Steps for a reflection inward on Memorial Day weekend. For too long, Memorial Day has been made into a patriotic celebration of U.S. Militarism, but the true cost of war is devastating loss. Loss of life, loss of resources, and threat to our planet.
On Saturday May 23, VFP chooses to honor ALL who have died in needless wars, both civilians and combatants. Please join us as we mourn those lost and seek peace.
Any flowers brought to the steps will be dispersed to cemeteries in the Treasure Valley.
