Wait. I thought it was astro-turf; a complete fabrication of the Republican party.

At least that's what we were told this time last year when the rallies and townhall stuff was going on.

If he meets the legal criteria and pays the fee I have absolutely no problem with his right to run. That wasn't my point.
