Richard Painter is arguably the most Trump deranged of all of Minnesota's public figures. Al Franken gave Painter a run for his money for awhile, but he didn't have the stamina to hang with him and since the #MeToo movement drove Franken from the stage he's no longer in the same class. Painter has decided to switch parties and run for one of Minnesota's US Senate seats in November. Here's his first ad for the campaign:
I'm not sure what impresses the most. The grating voice? The grimly set mouth? That he's stiffer than a pine tree? I know...it's the serial killer eyes.
Painter only garnered 17% of the delegates at the recent DFL convention compared to 74% for Tina Smith(currently serving in place of Al Franken). What he has going for him most is his white-hot Trump hatred. That may get him some significant support from the Bernie backers in Minnesota, but it's doubtful that's enough to overcome the DFL establishment.
We may get some pretty funny ads for the summer though.
