    None of these are real names. There’s no way.

      Sleve McDichael being at the top was too obvious, they should have buried that at like #3

    Question, if there are House Republicans, are there also Outdoors Republicans and maybe even Wild Republicans?

      Outdoor Republicans are the ones with their AR-15s killing all the birds

      Wild Republicans are all over the mountains of Idaho. Try not to feed them or they’ll come into your camp and quote Ayn Rand at you while they dig through your coolers.

    Got me again. Thought it was real at first because the names sounded real enough. I thought the race was turning into one of those clown car presidential primaries for a second. Good joke.
