It’s a tale of two Rauls.
A Republican launched his campaign on Thursday against Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-CA).
His name? Raul Ruiz, a 57-year-old carpenter from Riverside County, California.
“Obviously that’s going to create some confusion — to whose benefit or regret I don’t know,” the Republican Ruiz told Politico.
“I’ll say this: I had the name first,” said the Republican Ruiz, who is 10 years older than his Democratic counterpart.
According to his campaign site, the Republican Ruiz is running because Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) “and the radical liberals” are “threatening what makes this country great.”
Neither of the Ruizes were immediately available for comment.
I’m sure that dirty trick’s getting a lot of belly laughs down at the country club.
Too bad for Raul Ruiz ( R ) that his political party is spelled differently than Raul Ruiz (D)
A shame, really.
Republicans get their best candidates from the phone book.
I’m glad we can see the D or R even in our jungle-style primaries, although Riverside can be pretty red.
So Raul Ruiz ( R ) is another man baby who is terrified of women and who doesn’t know what socialism is. Do I have that about right?
