Not a joke

Some Republican candidates are threatening to sue TV stations that run ads associating them with Trump.

That is some crazy stuff there. I find this both bizarre and awkward as they are Republican and Trump is the candidate for president in this election. He is actually in charge of the Republican Party right now and they consider him so toxic they are threatening to sue for the name of their own candidate being associated with them. This is a seriously crazy election.

but since they're running in the same party as Trump, good luck to them and the Red Sox on not being utterly humiliated when a laughing judge throws this stuff out of court.
