Remove Donald Trump from the equation—as we did last week in order to focus on his potential running mates—and suddenly you have yourself a footrace. Competition for that unenviable slot on the ballot, and consequently for Attention-Whore honors, is stiff, but it’s impossible to deny how hard Elise Stefanik has been going for it and how deserving she is of the win you gave her, with 26.4 percent of the vote.
