That's hot (parts 1 and 2)

Root bests Lombardo in local round of Trump Games.  David Flippo "is strongly supported by the most Highly Respected MAGA Warriors in Nevada," Trump declared while endorsing Flippo for the Republican nomination in Nevada's 2nd congressional district the other day.

Trump was no doubt referring to professional carnival barker and conspiracy-spouting crackpot Wayne Allyn Root, who backs Flippo. Root has been an occasional warm-up act at Trump's Nevada events over the years, and once compared Trump to "the second coming of God."

James Settelmeyer is endorsed by the district's current congressman, Republican Mark Amodei. More interestingly, Settelmeyer is also endorsed by Nevada’s Republican governor and self-styled Trump-whisperer Joe Lombardo.

Maybe if Lombardo hadn't been AWOL at Trump's Las Vegas event in April, Trump might have bestowed more regard to Lombardo's endorsement. Oh well. At least Lombardo (who earlier this year described Root as an "awesome spokesperson" for the Republican Party) can be thankful Root didn't primary him ha ha.
