Joementum

But this is a long-term vision. A Congress made up of people-powered candidates will have to wait. In the short term, we have to work with the lobbyist-powered candidates we're stuck with in DC. And while we may pick a few off here and there (I'm looking at you, Joementum), it'll be a while before we can get good people-powered candidates into Congress.

Yet this first presidential run was not without its silver linings. The most important of which is that had this [1988] presidential bid ever developed any "Joementum," he probably would be dead.
