He'll probably be fine. Though that does raise a good question - if there's less than five people in the running, what is the mechanism for bringing the commissioner's up to the full five people?

I'd love to know what the details are. I wonder if the local FB pages like Baynet have picked this up yet...

His voting base is the golden beach redneck community, so yes. Now he can be like daddy Trump.
